About the adventure

A year ago, thieves broke the reliquary in the Cathedral of Saint Anonymous and took all ten fingerbones. The saint was nameless in life — venerated only for his hands — and now his hands are gone. With the fingers, the town lost its miracles. Wounds don't close when you pray. The winter wheat rots in the field. The bells ring flat. Three nights later, a warm meteor of black glass fell on the limestone hills west of town. It whispers. It remembers prayers it was never taught. The glass is growing. This is a 19-hex pointcrawl about what happens when the holy goes missing and something profane answers.
