Season Arc · AR.RAL Buckhorn Club: Mongo is Appalled
1All-In league: Eclipse Shroud stays with its holder — only its number moves with each week's standings.
Character Sheet
AI-written · FATE styleThe Eclipse Shroud was stolen from the burial chamber of the Underdark's first Delver-King, a legendary mercenary who unified the deepest caverns before being betrayed by their own apprentice. The ancient burial cloth carries the lingering protection of royal funerary rites, ensuring that even in death, the king's legacy prevents any single delver from total victory.
The Shroud absorbs all light within five feet of the bearer, rendering them nearly invisible in dim conditions. It whispers faintly to the holder, sometimes revealing snippets of information about approaching raids. Once per season, the Shroud can briefly phase through solid matter, allowing the bearer to escape a trapped situation. The fabric pulses with increasing intensity when tag theft is imminent, serving as a primitive warning system.
The Eclipse Shroud serves as the Underdark's great equalizer - a protective force that prevents complete player elimination while maintaining chaotic tag movement. It embodies the mercenary truth that even the weakest delver deserves a chance to survive another raid, and that total victory is always just out of reach for the arrogant.
