Description:
Once a year, the veil between worlds grows thin, and ancient roads, long lost to time, reveal themselves once more. In the hidden places of history—where mysticism, superstition, and the macabre ruled the Middle Ages—a crossroads took root, forged by those who walked the forgotten paths of the thinning veil. Now, at the heart of that fracture, lies a place where treasures are exchanged, memories are honored, and history breathes, here at the Hallowed Market.

As the newly born Mourning Moon ascends, the pathways are open to this archaic place and we invite all to journey past this threshold with us. Beyond this threshold, wanderers and traders from the medieval world converge. Viking storytellers, Celtic mystics, Moorish scholars, and Mongol horsemen arrive to share relics, secrets, and stories. Some bring offerings for the dead, others seek wisdom from spirits who linger beyond the veil.

The journey will be dangerous, so disguise yourself in attire to blend in with the medieval denizens of this market. You may find yourself trading tokens from another realm, unearthing forgotten tales by firelight, or discovering the rituals of long lost lands. Will you walk among the traders of forgotten civilizations? Carry home a relic from another age? Or leave changed, haunted by whispers of those who once stood in your place?
