The Bell Tree

A manifestation that appeared in Drelmere's town square overnight—twisted limbs like cloaked arms, a hollow where a face should be, bells swaying in windless air. It rose from the earth like a cloaked figure carved in shadow. Its bells, when rung in the correct spiral sequence, caused the entire tree to fold inward and compress into the first Shard. It held echoes, regrets, and moments lost to the Fray.
