The Curse of Jaxx

Born and raised into a solitary life on the turbulent sea's edge of an otherwise deserted world, 500 denizens wander throughout their lonely castle, held in thrall to an unspeakable fear. Only Old Darius and the Elders, wizened and wise-seeming leaders of this outpost, understand the nature of the curse that holds them there, for the hieroglyphics carved deep into the stone curtain walls tell a tale no other can comprehend. Armor-clad sentries stand in vigil on the battlements facing the violent sea; the moon whispers to those who dare stare upon its face and drives to madness those who do not turn away; the citizens of this community love one another in their oppressed state. But all that is about to change.

Following the departure of a hale team of comrades into the nearby forest, where rumors of a path to salvation have led them, it is the otherwise marginalized citizen Marcus who makes a series of terrifying discoveries within the castle. Are the leaders of this cursed community true to their citizens? Is the nature of the very world they live in more disturbing than Marcus even realized? And is it time for the vigil to end? Will the creature Jaxx return to exact his revenge for a crime no one can remember? The sentries grip their halberds. The sea's breakers smash violently against the castle wall. All await the meaning of the curse of Jaxx.
