The Hidden Vault of Thornbury VIDEO
The lead-bound reliquary in Ashworth's vault hums with a sound like distant thunder.
The Seventh Bell's silence has been unbroken for three centuries.
The glass is projecting images of the next vault!
You are not the first to seek this.
Obsidius Nyxofcuckoo's breath fogs the reliquary's glass as she studies the projections.
The projections show a submerged abbey, its walls covered in strange symbols.
The Sisterhood's flooding... it's connected to the Seventh Bell.
The water remembers.
The reliquary's lead seal is warm to the touch, as if breathing.
The lead was cast in the year of the Silent Tide.
Obsidius, the projections are changing! They're showing the next vault!
The vaults are not empty.
Her pulse quickens as the truth about the flooding becomes clear.
The Sisterhood's flooding is a consequence of the Seventh Bell's silence.
Three hundred years of quiet, and now the water speaks.
The glass in the reliquary begins to hum, its surface rippling with an otherworldly light.
The next vault is waiting.
Obsidius, look at this! The glass is projecting an image!
A faint image begins to form within the glass, revealing a hidden vault beneath the Sisterhood's abbey.
The coordinates are marked in the Sisterhood's oldest ledger, Ashworth.
The silence is not peace; it is a dam holding back the tide.
The bell has not rung since the Silent Tide.
A chill settles over her as the scope of the danger expands.
The flood is the price of the bell's mute vigil.
The next vault holds the key to the Seventh Bell's secret.
We need to find the next vault before it's too late!
The image in the glass shifts, revealing a hidden path beneath the abbey.
The path leads to the Sisterhood's oldest crypt, Thornbury.
The crypt holds the answers we seek.
But the path is guarded by something ancient and malevolent.
A cold dread creeps up her spine as she realizes the danger ahead.
The guardian is a remnant of the Sisterhood's ancient enemies, Blackwood.
Prepare yourself, Ashworth.
Obsidius Nyxofcuckoo's fingers tremble as she presses the reliquary's glass, revealing the final projection.
The seventh bell is not a relic of Choir Seven, but a weapon of the Sisterhood's flooding.
The Sisterhood's flooding is not just a natural phenomenon, but an ancient ritual to blind the eye and block the ear!
The glass's projection confirms that the signal travels through observation.
The full extent of the flooding and the danger it poses to the world becomes apparent.
The seventh bell is a key to stopping the Sisterhood's flooding, but it is guarded by the Blackwood.
We must locate the bell before the flood consumes all.
The next sealed site is in Thornbury.
The weight of the impending threat presses down on her shoulders.
Blackwood remains the sentinel of that ancient path.
We need to be prepared for anything!
Steel your nerves, Ashworth.
The journey ahead will be dangerous, but she is determined to stop the flooding.
The bell is our only hope, yet it is held by the Blackwood.
We must find the bell before the Sisterhood's flooding destroys everything!
The final image projected by the glass points to the next sealed site, hinting at the next mystery to solve.
