Secrets Bound in Gold 2024

A one-shot of forbidden magic and aristocratic deception

Beneath the glitter of an extravagant birthday gala, House Valorian hides a secret capable of destroying everything its name represents. As thieves pursue a mysterious prize and the city’s magical authorities watch from the sidelines, an ancient infernal bargain threatens to turn the celebration into a reckoning.

Decades ago, Archmage Thaldrin Valorian secured his family’s influence through a dangerous act of sorcery. He bound the fiend Erlithor beneath his estate and exploited the devil’s mind to power the Sigil Loom, a mystical arcane engine. Now his heir, Caldric Valorian celebrates his thirtieth birthday amid illusion and luxury, oblivious to the threat gathering around his inheritance. The Conclave has its own reasons for monitoring the event, while the performer-thieves of the Velvet Accord intend to use the festivities to carry out a robbery.

As the characters explore the estate, the apparent theft reveals a far more consequential mystery. A golden tablet containing an infernal contract connects the gala to Erlithor’s imprisonment, and the failing binding suggests that the arrangement is nearing its breaking point. With the estate’s arcane safeguards no longer reliable, the final vault becomes the focal point of a dangerous race to uncover the truth.

This fantasy adventure blends social intrigue with magical investigation and a carefully unfolding heist. Players must navigate conflicting loyalties and uncover the history behind the Valorian family’s power, leading to a final confrontation where understanding the nature of the contract may matter more than defeating an enemy by force.
