The Tally
The Tally
_*In a world where attention is currency, what happens when the ledger of existence is unbalanced?*_
The city is a labyrinth of tallow-gas lit streets, where the constant hum of burning fuels and the Reckoning's nightly routes hold reality taut against the encroaching slack. Reckoners like Aldous Crane navigate this dark world of civic-occult accounting, tasked with maintaining the delicate balance of existence. But as the nights wear on, the shadows deepen, and the unseen threats to the city's fragile reality begin to seep in.
Aldous Crane is a methodical and deliberate Reckoner, driven by a desire to maintain his emptiness and lack of attachment. Yet, as he delves deeper into the mysteries of the city, he begins to question the true nature of the Reckoning and the slack. With each step, the darkness closes in, and the consequences of his work become increasingly unclear.
As the Reckoning's power hangs in the balance, one misstep by Aldous Crane could unravel the very fabric of existence, leaving him to face the ultimate horror: a reality where he is nothing more than a forgotten name.
The darkness will claim him, piece by piece, until nothing remains.
