A new name is making the rounds in the wrong kinds of taverns—an ancient temple, lost to maps and memory, and a relic still sealed somewhere in its depths. Nobody agrees on what it is, only that it’s valuable enough to start fights and unlucky enough to end them. A discreet patron has hired you to locate the ruin and retrieve the relic before rival treasure-hunters, collectors, or worse get there first. You’ve been promised a payout that feels unreal… and given terms that feel even more so: the relic must be recovered intact, you are not to involve local authorities, and if you have to choose between your gear and the prize—choose the prize. All you have to go on are fragments: a half-translated inscription, a crude sketch of a symbol that makes scholars go quiet, and a handful of conflicting directions from people who swear they “heard it from someone reliable.” The journey will be dangerous, but the temple is the real uncertainty—older than the surrounding settlements, sealed for reasons no one will explain, and rumored to draw misfortune like a lantern draws moths. Still, the relic’s value is undeniable, and the clock is already ticking: if the whispers are true, you’re not the only ones hunting it
