A timeless vault
Minor arcanum #22
High in the hills or mountains, a pair of massive stone doors are set into the hillside. The markings outside are faded and covered in lichen. The doors aren’t locked; one lies a bit ajar. Inside, the vault and its contents are untouched by time, free of dust or mold. Clearly some magic is afoot.
To unlock the secrets of this place’s stasis…
Requirements
- ☐ …find and reveal the hidden runes that anchor the magic.
- ☐ …spend a few hours copying them, risking an error.
- ☐ …spend weeks tracing the runes on objects, until they gleam silver and vanish.
The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.
Back to all arcana.

The app deals arcana face-down; the GM flips them when the fiction says so.
