The Dark Carnival has risen once more, unfurling its twisted splendors beneath the choking canopy of the northeastern Bittermere Woods. At its blackened heart awakens the Living Stage, where wooden limbs jerk and rattle under the pale lights. Familiar wooden faces emerge from the past, though subtle, watchful additions now dance alongside the original Mayhem Troupe. Whispers skitter through the shadows: could the Dame herself have returned?

Yet an unsettling chill clings to the midway, a prickling dread that gnaws at the senses. Something here feels wrong, foreign, not entirely of Naidem. Is it something far more dangerous, or an emptiness hollowed out from within? The gloom refuses to yield its secrets easily.

Step beyond the treeline and walk the midway yourself, if you dare look closely at what stirs upon the stage.
