Fragments from the Sanguine Ledger — read softly.
When the candle forgets how to melt, the room remembers what it tried to bury. A short omen about a promise that will not die.
A courtly whisper unsettles the Regent; a rose wilts where the red thread was pulled. The ledger records the name.
Stories, rituals, and old court secrets.
A ritual performed under a waning moon. The chant smells of iron and honey; the floor remembers every footfall that ever crossed it.
Regality rotted at the edges; the portrait keeps his smile frozen and hungry.
