What is that creaking? Have the screws on your chair come loose perhaps? A small lalafell made of wood and hinges passes you with a squeak of joints, face unchanging and strange horns grow from its head. Perhaps a living toy?

lore
T H E C I R C U S
What is this circus?
The refuge of the outcasts. The home of the freaks. A stage like no other. Come see for yourself. The drapes of the red and white tent surround you in smiles and cheer, allow our hands to take yours and show you the breathtaking world of the Black Ring. Have you come to perform? To take to the stage to dance, to sing, to join us in the macabre? If not to perform...have you come to draw the very blood that drips from your veins? To wield magics and metal in hopes to reign supreme. The crowd cheers! The Ringmaster parades around you, clapping and leading you deeper within! To the center of the Ring. You want to leave? Why would you want to leave? In the Ring, you are the star of our beautiful show.They're watching me.. .O R I G I N
Was the circus always like this? Deep within the depths of the desert, away from the eyes of the holy, the innocent and curious. It was once a tent of red filled with wonderment of children and the play of animals. An abandoned child, wonder gone and only left with no hand to hold, to guide them. So, the kind Ring Master took them in. Oh, what a wonderful childhood this lost child had, loved so dearly, taught so much of the joy, the entertainment and grandeur of a circus. They loved it so much; they wanted to be a ringmaster as well. To free them. The bow was drawn, the arrow aimed, and the apple sat so precariously atop the master's head...the crowd was so wowed, they screamed!
What happened after that? Well...one must ask if one is to tell such a tale of broken souls and misguided innocence. The Ring Master awaits your curious mind....the eyes in the walls watch you closely.. .T H E C R E W
Who are the first ones? Oh them? Oh, my my...discarded souls left to rot amongst the dying of this Star, not even given a chance to truly live. The first, rotted flesh fills your nostrils and invades your mind with a time long past...a time of leathery wings and bloodied teeth. A dragon brought back from the brink of death by the gift of fauna. He walks among us, to look like us, to be given another chance. The Whisper of flame beckons you. The rest of them, found in the shadows and invisible to the eyes of the world.Can you tell me about the rest? Well of course! A tale of longing and loss was all it took to foster the rot, the spores grew. Forever she shall weep and the spores only feed from our, sweet mushroom. A dying deity from another culture, washed to shore and left for its own prey to feed upon his flesh. The song of blood and desire pulls you closer, such sharp teeth glimmer, and our dearest shark shall have you as a meal. Oh, but we are not finished. The creak of rusted tin and old wood flickers in your ear. A doll made to look like your friend, but a demon from another fragment lays trapped within. It seeks something from you, it wants something from you...do not give in. And last, but surely not least, our dearest and cruelest creation. A touch of magic and the cruel gift that is life gifted upon a speck of dust. To venture too close, you may cough and lose sight of her. Flighty that one.May I meet them?Don't worry, they already know you are here.. .
