Echoes of the Unending

Marius Corvus was once an instrument of cold justice, a High Inquisitor for an empire long turned to dust. He remembers countless lives, an unending series of deaths, a past where mortality was a distant rumor he never truly believed in. Now, stripped of his gilded past and thrown into the Penumbra Drift, he is merely another 'Breached' soul – a detested anomaly among a desperate collection of survivors. This fractured reality, a cosmic graveyard of dying worlds, churns with the whispers of 'Choral Horrors,' entities that feast on sanity and flesh. Pulled from his own timeline, Marius finds himself a pariah among a ragtag band of strangers – engineers from a future dystopia, mystics from a forgotten age, and soldiers from a thousand lost wars. They seek a way home, a beacon in the storm of the Drift, but Marius knows their odds are slim. His vast, unwanted memories of an eternal life have left him cold, pragmatic, and utterly apathetic to the personal struggles of others, save for their utility in survival. As the monstrous echoes of the Drift close in, Marius must decide if his rediscovered past holds the key to their escape, or if his detached wisdom will simply lead them to a more efficient demise.
