🔥 Beneath Hawksmere’s ancient stones, truth rots in the dark. When Lady Alianor follows a trembling nun’s warning to the old east tower, she uncovers a hidden cellar — a place where fruit has withered, coins gleam among decay, and sins long buried whisper to be heard. 🍂

Inside lies Roland’s secret vault, filled not with treasure, but the echoes of corruption: letters, poisons, and the remnants of a deceit so deep it poisoned generations. 💀 As Alianor descends into the shadows, the truth rises — foul, sacred, and utterly damning.

💬 Chapter 24: “The Harvest of Ash” — where faith turns to rot, mercy becomes memory, and the past exhales its poison through stone.
