You put the mask on. The red tinted lenses open up an entirely new environment to you.
You see that you’ve been standing on the edge of a huge pit that descends into the darkness. It’s like a crater, ringed with what can only be homes and businesses and any manner of habitation you can think of. Faint light spills from doorways at every turn that you had no idea existed. At the base of a flight of stairs to your left, a group of what you can only assume are children watch you curiously while hanging from the banisters. They too are wearing masks of some sort or another.
In the center of the crater is a thin spire with a sickly, wane looking amber light pulsing out from it peak sporadically.
Avanet sees you look to the spire and comments.
“That tower had a strong enchantment upon it, cast by our greatest arcanists. Its light kept the mist at bay.” It shakes its head.
“Unfortunately the things in the depths only get stronger the longer they live.”
It takes the time to tell the children to go home and returns.
“Something surfaced from the depths that was able to damage the crystal the enchantment was focused on. since then the mist has been encroaching in on the city and things are starting to change.”
“The door you came through didn’t exist a month ago. and up until a few days ago, before I got stationed here almost anyone who came through died.”
“If you decide to stay or explore, please keep the mask on. I recommend you go back to wherever you came from, though.””
u/R3cl41m3r has placed a note on the door listing the instructions for how to fix the crystal and the ingredients required. Please contact me (u/Psychomaniac14) for any Lusteirium required to repair the crystal
