First Mural

The First Mural is the opening fragment of a three-part Senkamati lore sequence. The text is written in the voice of a Senkamati survivor who has watched the Day of Great Sorrow pass and is beginning to fear what will come.

In-Game Text

Twelve winters have passed since the Day of Great Sorrow, yet my god has not returned.

We offer the living heat of our blood and raise our prayers. They go unanswered.

The sickness has not touched any of us yet, but I feel it, in the water, in the earth, in the whisper of grass beneath my feet. One day it will reach us.

Our people in the mountain city live as though nothing ever happened. They raise temples to the Lord of Death and listen to the silence. They wish to forget.

That is why we must remember.

Lore Context

The Day of Great Sorrow is the in-fiction start point for the Senkamati downfall, which the in-game world frames as the corruption that produces the modern Plague Marks creatures. The First Mural is the earliest narrator-voice fragment in this sequence, written before the speaker has accepted that the sickness will reach their city.
