Hark the Ghoul!
A damp, dark victorian city sits under a starless sky. Its citizens, mad with desire, claw at the earth, hoping to dig up shreds of amber.
Beneath the city lie lands untold. Darkness, teeming with unimaginable horrors and fantastic creatures. And deep within, a glint draws the eye.
Hark the Ghoul!
