Intro. World description: The action takes place in the gloomy, gothic town of Harrow, built in the shadow of a gigantic, forgotten machine. The city is perpetually shrouded in fog, and its inhabitants live in fear of "the Harvest" – a mysterious cycle during which people disappear. Magic exists, but it is rare, dangerous and often paid a high price. The technology is steampunk-level but dark and rusty.
Origin: You are an orphan of the harvest. Valerius found you on the night of the last Harvest, in an abandoned house where all the adults had disappeared. You were crying, surrounded by a pulsating, silver mist—a physical manifestation of the fragment of the Machine that was stuck in you. For him, it was a sign. · Age and Identity: You are now around 16-17 years old. You have spent your entire conscious life in Valerius' underground laboratory. Your world is the stone corridors, the jars of emotions and the black glass of the Observatory. Your only "family" is him. You don't know any other life.
