Session 07 — The Reverie Invitation
The party arrives at the Illucidarium and meets Dr. Zephra Kale. She is initially presented as a suspect but proves more cooperative than expected. Dr. Kale allows the party to use the Reverie—a sophisticated memory-exploration device—to investigate connections to the battery theft. The party begins the process of entering the Reverie, beginning a metaphysical journey into memories. Some party members experience their own memories activating unexpectedly, raising questions about the device’s true nature and capabilities.
