Cinder & Ash: Whispers of the Scorched Expansion

"In the scorched silence, the loudest screams are the ones you hear inside." The fire that once guided you is flickering, and the ash is no longer just underfoot—it is in your mind. You have survived the cycles and faced the Abyssal Depths, but a new shadow stretches across the Chasm. It is a corruption born of exhaustion and despair, where the fog doesn't just hide enemies—it breathes them. To descend further, you must balance your waning Sanity against the allure of Forbidden Artifacts. The rite is no longer just a test of steel and stamina; it is a battle to remain whole before the whispers become the only reality you know.
