The Sundered Tide

Velmaroth

Three centuries ago the maritime Theurgy of Casradine sank itself rather than surrender a stolen relic — the Hollow Pearl, an artifact that lets its bearer 'fold' the boundary between memory and matter. Until recently, Casradine slept under the Sundering Shoals. Now the relic has woken: coastlines retreat without warning, ruins surface fully intact, drowned ancestors wash ashore alive but wrong, and anyone who touches the rising stone begins reliving a stranger's last day. The party are ordinary coast-folk who survive the first 'tide-fold' and find they alone remember the town as it was before — making them the only witnesses able to trace the relic to its waking master before the whole peninsula is folded back into the past it cannot escape.
