KNELL

The parish is dead. The bell must be kept.

You are the last keeper of a plague-dead parish. Each night you ring the passing bell for the dead, as the office demands — but the bell has begun calling something back. Now every night is a vigil: survive from the first toll until matins, twenty minutes of dark, and everything in it wants your candle out.

What the night holds

• The bell keeps time. Every minute it tolls, and every toll calls worse dead. Elites at the fifth and fifteenth; at the tenth and the last, the Tolling Ones — things the bell named directly.

• Rites turned violent. Eleven weapons drawn from grave-rites and sexton's tools: the censer, the salt ring, coffin nails, holy water, a corpse-candle sent out hunting, the knell itself. Pair a rite with its matching relic and it evolves into something the parish never sanctioned.

• The night changes, not just hardens. Early dead fade to chaff as new silhouettes answer. Past the fifteenth toll, the churchyard floods — walls and rings of hundreds.

• Your candle is your life. Health is the Wick; damage gutters it. Souls of the slain drift as vigil lights — gather them, lay them to rest, grow stronger.

• Fall, and the night still pays. Ash swept from the churchyard buys permanent restoration in the Reliquary: ten Reliquary tracks to deepen, six keepers to bring out of the dark — each holding the bell a different way — and a longer fuse for the next vigil.

• Press on into the dark. Survive to dawn and you may keep walking. The endless dark compounds without mercy. Every endless run ends — how far is up to you.
