Overview

In Valorin, runes bleed into reality. A glyph whispers in the air: jhgyfudfhgj, flaring across walls, skin, and water. It is a fragment of the Sigil of Silence, a prison that once sealed a vast rift. The sigil fractured into five temple-keys hidden where air, earth, water, and memory meet. If the keys are not recovered and bound to a common language, the Rift will widen, swallowing voices, names, and time itself.

Setting and Key Locations

The campaign spans five regions: Hearthgate, a coastal city of scholars; the Ironwood Expanse, a forest of living trees; the Glass Reef, a submerged ruin beneath coral and light; the Zephyr Spires, floating isles above a desert of wind; and the Archivum of Echoes, a hidden vault beneath a ruined archive. Each temple tests a different discipline—puzzle, trial of combat, trial of memory, and rite of oath.

The Main Quest

Recover the five glyph-keys and rebind the Sigil at the Forge of Whispers, where the Sigil can be rewritten into a known language. The players face Glyphwrights, secretive scribes who crave chaos, and the Umbra-Stewards, memories-keepers who fear the future.

Hooks

A parchment bearing the glyph jhgyfudfhgj appears at a tavern; a survivor reports a voice that speaks only in glyphs; a mentor is accused of desecrating an ancient seal. Each hook pulls the party toward a temple and its guardian.

Side Quests

Investigate the Glyph-Binders, a guild that catalogs glyphs; rescue a child who bears living glyphs on their skin; recover a stolen page from the Archivum that reveals the sigil's true shape.

Challenges and Rewards

Riddle-heavy exploration, shifting landscapes, and encounters with reality-warped beasts. Rewards include Glyphseeker's Cloak, Sigil-Quill, and Cipherbound Bracers, granting language-based magic, temporary invisibility, and advantage on Arcana checks.
