☾ For the Keeper Alone

The Veil

Players, look away. Everything past this point is the Keeper's — the truth behind the rumors, the acts still to come, and the machinery under the city.

Prep and canon: the true shape of the plot, the secrets the city keeps, and the acts as written before the table bent them.

☾ Next Session

Next Session (proposed)

Proposal for Night 22 — into the palace: committing an aim now the coup is rolling, the ways into the Harem, and the Mira–Bergüzar sister-meeting that is the campaign's moral hinge.

☾ Session Kit

Night 21 — The Grand Negotiation

The runnable kit for the Negotiation. Played out in Night 21; kept for reference — the run-up delegation, the faction cheat-sheet, and running the room.

The Secrets

The Real Plot & Central Secrets

Who the Ghost really is, the Harem's pact, why Mira matters — and the catastrophe the whole campaign bends toward.

The Dreams

Visions of Bergüzar

The fifteen dreams the Haseki Sultan sends the party: a forest child, a stolen throne, and the world's end she is begging them to avert.

The Arc

The Acts: Written vs. Played

The published four-act module set beside what the table actually did across eighteen nights — and where the two diverge.

Live State

Open Threads & the Endgame

The running dossier through Night 21: the Grand Negotiation held and the coup revealed as already in motion, three irreconcilable futures, Mira still hidden, the Lodge half-mapped — plus the Night 22 proposal.

Numbers

Adversary Statblocks

Combat statistics for named adversaries, kept off the public pages — the Keeper's fighting numbers.

The Table

The Table

The safety lines & veils the group plays by, the campaign's logistics, and the roster.

GM Prep

Act II — How We Ran It

Where the table departed from the book, the faction positions, the Osman-death scripts, and the Eve/Byzas lore.

Session Prep

Mira & the Living Manor

Full stat blocks for the encounter near the Trojan digsite — the frightened diviner and the gargantuan house. Played out in Night 19; kept for reference.
