Two strangers awaken in a cursed village as an ancient sea god, Shoggdhrashogg, begins to stir


Author's Note: Two strangers awaken in a forgotten coastal village, with fragmented memories and a dreadful sense that something is terribly wrong. The tide is low, and strange formations of black coral begin to emerge along the shore — structures no one remembers ever seeing before. The villagers avoid speaking of “the name that must not be said,” but whisper of the return of Shoggdhrashogg, an ancient entity slumbering in the ocean depths, feeding on human memories. As the players explore the village, they uncover that their presence is tied to an old pact meant to keep the creature asleep. Each night, the visions grow stronger, reality begins to unravel, and time seems to rewind. Now, they must uncover the truth — and their role in this eternal cycle — before Shoggdhrashogg fully awakens… and devours everything.

Description

At the lowest tide, when the ocean recedes unnaturally far, a massive black stone slab emerges from the sand—smooth, cold, and covered in spiraling, alien symbols. The villagers refuse to approach it, whispering that it is "where the offerings were made." Key Details: The stone is impossible to damage and radiates an eerie warmth. Touching it causes flickering visions of a great, slumbering eye beneath the waves. At exactly midnight, the slab pulses with a deep hum, and shadows gather around it—even when no one is near. Something is buried beneath it. But what?
