Welcome to the Timekeeper's Curio, a sanctuary for things that should have been lost to the dust of history.
You may see a piece of ancient Liuli and admire its crimson glow. You may touch a fragment of Kesi and marvel at its celestial texture. But here, beauty is merely the skin. Within every artifact lies a frozen moment—a heartbeat, a tear, or a scream of obsession.
If you have found your way through the fog to this door, it is because you are chosen by fate.
The Rule of Trade
Artifact Choosing: You do not choose the artifact. It chooses you. Only those whose souls resonate with the "Memory" trapped inside will succeed in trading.
The Vision: Upon the first touch, the Archive will grant you a vision. You will not hear a story; you will live it. You will feel the heat of the artisan's forge and the cold of the lover's grave.
The Price: Currency is not accepted here. To take away the object, you must leave a piece of yourself behind: a memory, a secret, or a vow...
Once the trade is made, there are no returns.
"The rain outside is temporary. The stories inside are eternal."
Take a deep breath. Adjust your eyes to the dim light. The Timekeeper is waiting.
