Sister Virodar knelt on the frozen slate of the Penitent’s Spire, her woolen habit soaked through with the perpetual drizzle that clung to the city’s lower tiers. Above her, the Golden Cloister blazed with false dawn-light—hollowforged lamps that mimicked a sun Dawnhold hadn’t seen in eighteen years.

The guardian lunged.

It wore the shape of Dawnhold’s first martyr, but its face was Virodar’s own face, aged a thousand years. -18 - dawnhold Sister Virodar APK v0.15 wexrchan lasud

She held it open for one second. Just long enough for a young novice, eighteen years ago, to find a strange amulet in the catacombs—and instead of bringing it to the Church, to throw it into the deep well.
