The Reduce

The Reduce

Men back from the African campaigns and Custoza, buried in haste. They still move as if in formation.

Skeletons

Skeletons in evening dress

Top hat, white shirtfront, silver-headed cane. Death took the flesh, not the bearing.

The Weeping

The Weeping

Marble by day and in the dark. Only lantern light makes them mortal — and lets you see their faces.

Nottoles

The Nottoles

Children of the old wing, dead before baptism. Low, fast, silent. The game never asks you to hate them.

Crows

The crows

Those are crows.

A Masca

A Masca

The Ligurian witch. Three forms: the old woman, the cat, the smoke. Untouchable until the lantern forces her into flesh.

Staglieno is the first chapter. The rest of Europe is waiting.
