📜 Micro‑lore style facts
- Did you know what the Enchiridion was?
The so‑called Enchiridion of Pope Leo III was said to be a book of prayers and charms, believed to protect against storms, poisons, and even demons. Though its origins were apocryphal, its reputation made it one of the most coveted grimoires in Europe.
- Did you know the Black Death reshaped Europe?
In the 14th century, the plague wiped out nearly a third of the population. Beyond the tragedy, it left a lasting mark on faith, art, and the fascination with death —feeding the gothic imagination for centuries to come.

Let your pilgrimage begin!
Step into the cursed sandals of Pedro de Triana, a lone crusader returning to his homeland only to find it ravaged by plague, heresy, and horrors that defy scripture. What begins as a pilgrimage becomes a descent into a labyrinth of sacramental decay, where relics bleed power and the whispers of monks echo through catacombs long forsaken.
At the heart of this tale lies the Enkhirydion—an ancient tome said to hold the final rites capable of banishing the demonic scourge. But truth is never pure, and salvation never free.
🩸 A World Steeped in Faith and Rot
Explore a vast, interconnected map spanning haunted villages, frozen cemeteries, forgotten mausoleums, and the desecrated halls of a once-holy convent. Each zone pulses with atmospheric detail: the mournful howl of wind through crypts, the rustle of corrupted forest leaves, the distant chant of unseen monks.
Pedro’s journey is not linear. You’ll return to old places with new powers, uncover hidden paths, and piece together a lore-rich narrative that rewards curiosity and punishes complacency.
