Devlog #3 Vaultborn

    Devlog #3 — Vaultborn: The Cost of Being Remembered

> “You don’t leave the Vault unchanged. Some leave... unfinished.” — First Flame, Fragment 3

Not all delvers escape.

Some carry too much out — marks that glow when lies are spoken, reflections that no longer match, bones that sing when broken.

Vaultborn aren’t a class. They’re a consequence.

Three marks. One whisper. A shift in your shadow.

You don’t become Vaultborn by leveling up — you become Vaultborn when the Vault takes notice. When it stops watching and starts rewriting you.

If you’ve seen something stir at your table, or your players walked out marked, I want to hear it.
