      • loose lip fishmonger

        Some old codger down at the market’s been shouting about ‘the merging of worlds’ and ‘the return of the dead.’ Most folks think he’s mad, but he’s been talking about shadows coming alive and a ‘second Sundering.’ Creepy, if you ask me. The Watch gave him a good boot, but he keeps coming back.

      • looks drunk

        So, my cousin’s a rat-catcher, right? He found these weird symbols carved into the sewer walls, down near the Trades Ward. He’s seen a lot down there, but nothing like this. Said they glow faintly, like they’re alive. He swears he saw someone in a hood watching him from the dark, but when he turned around, they were gone.

        • Calcine stands up and bows before picking up the Symbole
      • Calcine places the symbol on her coat instead of in a pocket
      • Calcine pricks her finger placing it
      • the time seem to stop as the blood drop

        Calcine sees spectral chains, forged of shadows, wrapped around the city of Waterdeep. These chains pulse with a dark energy, and with each pulse, the city’s lights flicker as if struggling to hold back encroaching darkness. These chains lead toward a rift—a tear in reality—through which Calcine can see glimpses of the Shadowfell, a realm of gloom and decay. Dark figures, robed in shadows, tug at the chains, trying to widen the rift. Calcine senses the presence of the cultists and hears a voice that whispers, “A world of suffering, endless and unyielding, if the veil falls.”
