eldritch -- Cosmic Tether (Path) Tethered to something vast and wrong -- pre-human power, Old One pressure, or alien will wearing a vessel. The patron is a force or plane, not a kind god; arrogance fits, mercy does not. How you play 1. commune Favor floor at a shrine / rite (stronger on Deeper Well / Purgatory) 2. channel combat Charge burst (tilts damage hard; strains Favor fastest when thin) 3. favor status pane 4. Ease Strain with commune before you push again Home footing The Deeper Well (Purgatory pocket) -- your cosmic tether snaps Echoes here when Earth homesickness goes critical (help cosmic). Black Nest in Purgatory hides the mythic descent if you know the lore. Top stats lean FOC / POW / FIN. Cadence (Echoes / NPCs) Low Favor: path to shrine ground and commune (shared Cosmic loop). Critical homesickness off Prime: reform at The Deeper Well, not Clinic. In lore, Old Ones share the Primordial tier with Leviathans. Their pocket prison in Purgatory is The Deeper Well -- search Black Nest for the hidden descent if you know the myth. Parked: full Old One boss roster, deeper Well dungeon loops.
