The Jester
Master of the Opera Hall stage. He turns your past into theatre, and reminds you that a second telling does not undo the first.
In a world this grim, the Jester is the strangest thing in it. He cannot be killed. He does not seem to want to. He runs the Opera Hall, and the Opera Hall stages quests you have already lived, finished or failed, as theatre.
“Out there, you must live with what you do. Here, we can put it on the stage.”
A performance is a replay, not a revision. Experience, loot, and anything you change while performing do not carry over. The audience reacts to how you play it. The Jester treats this as a gift. Whether that is true is not for him to say.
“A second telling does not undo the first.”
The Jester is where Eclipsed Realms lets itself be absurd and horrible in the same breath.
