The Sunday Papers
While following a peculiar trail of silver and saffron leaves around the largest roots of the Treehouse, you come across a hexagonal wooden door lying half-hidden among ivy and moss. Scraping away the dirt, you discover a faint, absurd engraving of a newspaper. What mystery is here? You turn the brass knob – strange, it is warm! – and the engraving of the newspaper flutters. The pages turn faster…
In a peculiar discovery, a hexagonal wooden door emerges half-hidden among ivy and moss near the largest roots of the Treehouse. Scrutinizing the dirt, an engraving of a newspaper becomes apparent. With a warm brass knob, the door creaks open, and the newspaper's pages flutter as they rapidly turn, producing a chilling gale that knocks the individual over.
Upon regaining consciousness, they find themselves inside a vast attic filled with books and bricabrac, illuminated solely by windows that provide no glimpse of the outside world – only light and mist.
Fortunately, there are multiple ways to escape this enigmatic place. Each arcane object scattered throughout the attic is actually a portal, leading to another site of arcane activity. The bizarre web of diversions within this mysterious realm seems unlikely to have been curated by human hands. The question remains: which portal will the individual choose to venture through?
