The story, by race
Human / Homo sapiens
Start
You have only heard stories of the night the obelisks were lit. You would rather not live one.
On success
The glow steadies. For now, the world holds.
On failure
The light flares and the snowstorms begin.
Elf / Fae
Start
Your ancestors lit this obelisk. Some say it is your duty to put it out.
On success
The light dims under your hands, and the old songs fall silent.
On failure
You were too late. The obelisk answers someone else now.
Sirian
Start
Master Xi has waited centuries for this. You are his eyes on the ice.
On success
Master Xi smiles for the first time anyone can remember.
On failure
Master Xi does not speak to you for a long time.
Reptilians
Start
The ground hums under your claws. Below the ice, the obelisk goes all the way down.
On success
The humming stops. The tunnels below are quiet again.
On failure
The tunnels shake. Something below has woken.
