Deceit 2 - The Millhaven Asylum

Concept for Deceit 2

The Peddler’s shop -
“Spend any time walking the corridors of the In-Between and you will inevitably encounter a tall, hunched creature garbed in dense layers of tattered cloaks and shawls; this is the Peddler of Antiquities.

Once a chief mystic for an ancient tribe, long before records were committed to stone or parchment, the Peddler enacted the first ever ritual. By terrible misfortune, his entire tribe was sacrificed, transporting the Peddler through the veil and into the In-Between. The Old Ones stirred, waking from their eternal slumber at the taste of mortal suffering. As the first mortal to ever enter their realm, the ancients looked favourably upon the mystic, blessing him with their terrible boon.

Time in the In-Between is not as we know it, and whilst several thousand years have passed since the initial tragedy, the Peddler has been alone for aeons. That was until the Game Master arrived.

Exploiting the damned creatures longing for humanity and redemption, the Game Master uses the Peddler in his own ritual as a puppet to equip his captives with occult items to empower his ritual.”
