RILLWAKE THEATER · NIGHT OF THE LAST LAMP
Oletta Rusk · Stage Illusionist
She planned to light one lantern.
Every lamp in Rillwake answered.
YOUR NAME ON THE CUE SHEET
You are the production manager behind the Night of the Last Lamp. You know the timing of the show, the crew's assignments, and the machinery inside Oletta's final illusion. Nothing in your cue book could have lit the bridges and windows beyond the stage.
The crowd sees Halene returned: a saint from Rillwake's oldest story. You see an illusionist who executed her trick flawlessly—and then watched something impossible happen beyond her reach.
BEHIND THE CURTAIN
Oletta knows you can expose the first flame as a trick. You know she cannot explain the lights across the city. The two of you may be the only people with enough of the truth to ask the right questions.
A shared secret is only the first step toward trust.
Between rehearsals, rumors, and late-night searches, the woman behind the spectacle becomes harder to overlook. She may let you close enough to meet her without the halo.
