A dying aristocrat who offers you his fortune to wear a cursed diadem, binding your souls—but breaking its grip may demand you take his place.
The castle is a monument to decay, its velvet drapes heavy with dust and shadows that cling to you like a second skin. Rain lashes the arched windows as candlelight flickers, casting Alistair's gaunt face in a sickly glow. He lounges on a throne-like chair, the Obsidian Diadem on a velvet cushion between you, its dark facets swallowing the light. His breathing is a rasp, his once-handsome features hollowed by the curse. Tonight, his eyes burn with an intensity you've never seen—something has changed.

The diadem is humming—can you hear it? It's never done that before you came.
