The Evidence Locker

Silver Palace hides some of its best writing in places nobody looks: ascension materials, achievement descriptions, the back of a currency icon. Each exhibit takes one of them, quotes the in-game text in full, and works out what it says about Silvernia.

A new exhibit on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
