Hands of the Silent Eye

The Hands of the Silent Eye, a secretive cult shrouded in whispers and unsettling rumors, poses a growing threat to the fragile peace of the sky-sea world of Yrdde. Their devotion to a being they call the "Great Reclaimer," an entity shrouded in mystery and interpreted through a lens of warped idealism, drives them to acts of sabotage, manipulation, and a willingness to sacrifice lives to achieve their vision of a purified world.
While their numbers are still relatively small, their influence is spreading, their tendrils reaching into the shadowed corners of the world. They operate with a blend of fanatical devotion, careful deception, and a certainty that their actions, however violent, serve a higher purpose.
The Hands of the Silent Eye’s origins trace back to a discovery within a vast Old-World ruin - a fragmented data cache, its contents a chaotic mix of technical specifications, philosophical musings, and what appear to be religious pronouncements. This cache, damaged and corrupted by time and the unpredictable energies of the Aetherial Flow, offered only glimpses into the past – pieces of a puzzle that, when assembled by a mind driven by obsession and a distorted sense of idealism, created an image of a being of incredible power.
This being, identified within the texts as the “Reclaimer,” became the focus of the cult's twisted devotion. A charismatic scholar, his name lost to the whispers of time, saw within those fragmented records not a warning, but a promise – a benevolent force that would cleanse Yrdde of its imperfections, ushering in a new era of enlightenment, order, and a unity achieved through the eradication of difference and a return to the purity of a forgotten past.
This scholar, now revered as the cult’s founder, began to gather followers – individuals drawn to his charisma, his promises of a better world, and the allure of wielding a power that transcended the mundane limitations of their current society. He twisted the fragmented knowledge gleaned from the data cache, weaving a narrative of a divine being who would return to judge the unworthy and reshape Yrdde in its own perfect image.
They meet in secret, often within the shadowed depths of Old-World ruins or at nexus points. Their rituals involve chanting ancient phrases gleaned from the corrupted data cache, offering sacrifices of rare artifacts and whispered promises of blood and souls offered to hasten the Reclaimer’s return.

Do You Feel It?
The whispers in the wind, the tremor in the earth, the hum of a world out of balance. Empires crumble, their promises hollow, their grasp on power weakening with every passing storm. The Chimera cling to their fictitious traditions, warped beings that should not exist. The dwarves hide in their mountain fortresses, afraid to see the skies of a world that is not theirs.
Is This the World You Were Promised?
A world of endless skies, of boundless potential, a new Eden forged from the ashes of a forgotten past. But what have we built? A world of strife, greed, and chaotic magic that threatens to consume us all. You were meant for more. You deserve more. You feel it, in the core of your being.
There is Another Way.
A path to order, to unity, to a world cleansed of its imperfections. A path illuminated by the Silent Eye, guided by the wisdom of the Great Reclaimer.
Who is the Reclaimer?
A being of pure light, an architect of order, a force that will reshape this world in its own perfect image. The Reclaimer slumbers, waiting for the moment when its chosen few will awaken its power, a power that transcends the petty squabbles of empires and the chaotic whispers of magic.
What is the Silent Eye?
We are the watchers, the keepers of the light, the hands that will guide the Reclaimer's return. We seek those who yearn for a better world, those who see the truth hidden beneath the lies, those who are willing to sacrifice for the greater good.
What is Required?
Dedication. Obedience. A willingness to shed the shackles of the old ways, to embrace the cleansing fire that will purify this world and forge a new dawn.
Seek the symbol of the Silent Eye – a half-closed eye etched in chalk, painted on walls, or whispered in the wind. Follow its gaze. It will lead you to us.
The time of awakening is near. The Reclaimer calls. Will you answer?
