Morktober 2025 – Warden

Encounter – The Last Warden

“Even Death does not stop the Last Warden from their duty. Step by torturous step, losing bits with every footfall, eyes sunken and mouth still noiselessly moving in memory of things like words. We pray he does not mistake us for his wards, lest he puts those clanking chains into use.”

They found part of a map to a fortune, but the key lies in a PRISON. As the END TIMES drew ever nearer, so was this place abandoned by the trade ships. What still clings to the crumbling stone cells and halls are those poor WRETCHES still trapped by chains and claimed by hunger and neglect. Some remain as REVENANTS rattling in the dark, clinging to the violence that sent them here. The LAST WARDEN haunts these grounds, keys and manacles at his side, still enforcing ORDER and DISCIPLINE as he encounters things living and dead out of their cells.
