I · The city

Feretra buries other people’s dead.

Feretra grew rich burying the dead of other cities. Beneath it, the afterlife runs on a single rule: the Toll.

Cinerio shovels ash. He steals his dead father’s obol to reach Eressa, the lamplighter. He kills Vetulio, the ferryman, and loses his voice: he will not say a word all game.

The Damned are the souls that followed him back up. The Seamstress hires him instead of killing him: she sews a bronze disc between his shoulders, engraved “LA PIÙ DANNATA”, and chains the Committal Scythes to his wrists.
