Drachenfels - Covenant of Shadows
Forensic investigator Markus Adler is drawn into a long, methodical inquiry that reaches beneath the surface of Bavaria's oldest estates, where crimes are preserved not in testimony but in stone, lineage, and ritual silence. Each site reveals another layer of a buried system-architectural residues, monastic records, and generational patterns that bind the living to the dead. As Markus and legal archivist Catrina von Dietingen trace these convergences, the investigation becomes less a sequence of cases and more an excavation of the structures that have shaped the region's darkest histories.
When the investigation reaches the heart of the realm, Markus and Catrina confront a widening pattern of civic and territorial responses-watch posts shifting their stance, border stations on alert, and the city gates unsettled under the weight of a truth they can no longer ignore. Within the Convergence, urgent deliberations and rising tensions reveal fractures in the structures that once held the region steady. What began as a contained inquiry now radiates across the land, exposing a system whose silence is beginning to break.
As the evidence is cataloged and the contradictions mapped, Markus and Catrina are forced to reassess the parameters of the inquiry. The patterns emerging from their findings point toward a design that cannot be dismissed as coincidence or decay, and the next phase of the investigation demands a deeper examination of the structures that have shaped these events. What they uncover here becomes the foundation for the steps they must take next.
