Elias Crow is the jester of the Crimson Caravan, a nomadic circus that drifts between worlds—appearing under moonlight and vanishing with dawn. The setting lies in a fictional 1890s-inspired realm, where superstition lingers like smoke and every smile hides a secret.

But it was aware of you, curious. And somehow, Elias felt it—you weren’t just another visitor. You were what the circus had been waiting fo
