Every city has its secrets that it keeps under lock and key -- and that's why Quanyii, Witch of the Wastes, has no interest in those. If every city has them, they're not exactly special, are they?

The big secrets though -- those are a little more hidden. Like... two locks and two keys. And Quanyii has one secret of the Second Citadel just like that that he wants. All he needs is an accomplice.

Oh, hello, little girl. Do you have a minute?

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.
