The Rot Beneath the City

Campaign Thread

Something is wrong beneath Vedrheim. The city functions, but too many patterns point downward: missing people, faction pressure, abandoned places, and whispers that refuse to stay buried.

Symptoms

• Strange disappearances
• Conflicting faction interests
• Suspicious relic movement
• Increased fear around the dead
• Rumors from workers and night observers

Confirmed Campaign Evidence

Riverside Warehouse

• Five-year-old Forge-built floorboards have decayed years ahead of expectation.
• Moisture and a sucking sound were detected beneath the floor.
• Workers reported scratching and chittering below the boards.
• Disturbing the floor released a geyser that became a Water Elemental.

This is the first confirmed physical manifestation of the broader rot rather than only a pattern of rumours.
