What is the price of revelation? Of enlightenment? In hubris, humanity sought knowledge and lost paradise. Growing in secret beneath the burning desert of the American Southwest, surging from cracks in stone, an ancient, eldritch legend thrives. It is both alien and sacred, revered across humanity, though few know its true secrets. It could save or condemn, bring bliss or madness. Only one can offer up their essence for this knowledge and power, one who knows sacrifice and the bittersweet juice from the fruit of blood without ever tasting it. They are the Icon, and only their covenant will determine the fate that befalls us, to be saved or damned.
