The Dueling Ghosts of Copperkeep
Two spectral duelists appear each midnight in Copperkeep Courtyard, fighting the same duel over and over. The living can't pass through without picking a side. Backing the wrong ghost earns a cursed wound. No one remembers why they fought. Find the truth in crumbling records, lift the curse, or let one finally win—if you can figure out who deserves to.
