BY ORDER OF THE BUREAU
Thousands of years ago, the Bureau of Arcane Order cast the Hollow King into the void and sealed him there with light. Once a year, on the longest night, that light runs thin everywhere at once, and he can reach back through
Our realm and your world turn under the same sun. Same solstice, same longest night
FORM 21 / DECEMBER SOLSTICE
By order of the Bureau, every building in the realm will keep a flame burning from dusk until first light. Hexmoor will comply to the letter
DRESSED BY THE INMATES
The inmates have never been allowed decorations before, and have taken to it with alarming enthusiasm. Jumpsuits twisted into wreaths. Confiscated keys strung along the bars. Nobody has asked where the candles came from
DO NOT LET IT GO OUT
DUSK
You’ve been convicted of crimes of dark magic, which the Bureau of Arcane Order takes very seriously. A jumpsuit is handed to you at the door and a contraband wand is hidden within your cell. The inmates have spent weeks dressing the wing with whatever they could steal, but one of them believes the Bureau are keeping secrets
Your first potion cocktail arrives shortly afterwards, served by the inmate hexologists
BEFORE MIDNIGHT
Raise your wand and the wing gives up its secrets. Contraband is hidden through every cell and corridor, visible only under its light. Find enough of it and you’ll find the vault
Under several thousand feet of concrete, nobody in Hexmoor can see the sky, so nobody knows which night is the longest. Tonight, frost is forming on the inside of the walls and the lanterns are starting to fail. The Hollow King is due at midnight. This was not in the notice
MIDNIGHT
The lanterns are going out one by one, and the brightest thing left in the wing is you, and whether you can solve the mystery of who is aiding the Hollow King. Hold the light until dawn, and the void seals for another year
