Epic Fantasy
The Sundered Sigil of Taneycomo
Branson, Missouri
For centuries, the Loom of the Ozarks has kept the ancient leylines of this valley hidden beneath the veneer of a bustling tourist town. You are the newly sworn Apprentice to the Order of the Silver Mist, tasked with protecting the Aetheric Compass, a relic that stabilizes the flow of magic between the waters of the White River and the iron veins of the hills. But last night, the sanctuary was breached by Elias Beaumont, a rogue Weaver who believes that magic should be harvested for power, not balanced for peace.
Before he fled, Beaumont shattered the Sundered Sigil, scattering the fragments of the Compass across the town. Without the Sigil to guide the flow, the energy of the lake is beginning to churn, and the ancient spirits of the hills are growing restless. You must recover the fragments before the Grand Convergence at sunset, or the leylines will snap, draining the magic from this land forever.
The path ahead is veiled in enchantments, hiding truth in plain sight. As you move through the world of the 'Unseeing,' keep your eyes sharp for the symbols of the Order disguised as everyday signs. Someone within the Loom may have aided Beaumont—an informant whose identity remains a shadow in the archives. Only by retracing the trail of the rogue Weaver can you restore the balance and secure the Ozarks for the next generation of guardians.
