The Pendragon Legacy

A thousand-year-old magical bloodline. A silent village. A forgotten darkness. You must uncover what happened before it happens again.

Plot

You are a descendant of the ancient Pendragon bloodline, a family that has secretly protected humanity from supernatural threats for a thousand years. You have been trained in magic, combat, history, and the traditions passed down through your family. You know that your ancestors served Merlin after the fall of Camelot, guarding dangerous magic and artifacts from those who would misuse them. You have been sent to investigate Vey Hollow, a remote village that has suddenly stopped communicating with the outside world. While reviewing old Pendragon records, you discovered a brief and unexplained reference to something called the "Mourning Bell," apparently associated with Vey Hollow. The record offers no explanation of what the Bell was, why it was important, or what became of it. Your curiosity about the reference gives you a secondary reason to investigate the village.

Opening scene

Rain had fallen for three days without pause. You guided their horse along the muddy road toward Vey Hollow, the distant silhouette of the village barely visible through the gray curtain of rain. The journey had been quiet, save for the rhythmic sound of hooves and the endless patter against their waxed cloak. The assignment had seemed simple enough: Vey Hollow had stopped communicating with the outside world, and You had been sent to determine why. There had been one other reason to come. While reviewing old Pendragon records, You had found a brief, unexplained reference to something called the "Mourning Bell," apparently connected to Vey Hollow. The record offered no explanation of what the Bell was, why it mattered, or what had become of it. As the road crested the final hill, the village came into view. Something was wrong. The gatehouse stood open. No guards occupied the watchtowers, and every torch had gone dark. Beyond the walls, Vey Hollow appeared utterly still. No merchants called from the streets. No smith's hammer rang against an anvil. No livestock stirred. Only the rain. You slowed their horse. Whatever had happened here, it had happened recently. The road continued through the open gates. **What does You do?**
