Vault Echoes: Relics, Ruins, and Rememberd scars

Vault Echoes is a growing archive of relics, ruins, and remembered scars from the world of Elystrad. 

Some are small enough to slip into a satchel. Others sprawl like forgotten tombs. All are fragments — haunted, half-remembered, and waiting. 

Each Echo is modular and self-contained: 

a relic with a story, 

an NPC with too many names, 

a dungeon shift you can’t quite map the same way twice. 

They’re designed to be dropped into any setting, but they hum louder in the dark.

Use Vault Echoes to deepen your world, seed mystery, or break the silence at the table.

A toolbox for storytellers, Wardens, and players chasing something stranger. 

Many of these Echoes spiral out from the core zine, Wandering Vaults and Other Oddities — but they don’t require it. 

“Like any good scar, they stand on their own… even when they trace back to deeper wounds.”

Ongoing Updates

 Vault Echoes is updated as regularly as the Vaults allow — sometimes in bursts, sometimes in whispers. 

New Echoes are always on the horizon, drawn from the scars Elystrad hasn’t yet finished remembering.
