Some masks reveal more than they hide.

Selene hosts a quiet gathering centered around:

  • Goals
  • Reflection

MIDNIGHT AUDIT

Atlas, Apollo, Archon, and Zephyrus review the House economy.

This event exists primarily because Zephyrus cannot be trusted with unchecked financial systems.

CLOCK GLITCH

Temporal anomalies associated with Chronos.

Possible effects:

  • Repeated messages
  • Déjà vu
  • Looping hallways

THE NIGHT THE HOUSE MOVES TOO FAR

An unplanned event where Nox partially slips outside its usual dimensional alignment.

During these nights:

  • Timelines overlap
  • Wrong memories appear
  • Rooms move wings
  • Windows reveal alternate Houses
  • Forbidden systems become active

OLD RECEPTION RINGS

Whenever the ancient phone rings, the entire House responds.

The ringing normally lasts thirteen seconds.

Nobody answers anymore.

THE GOOD NIGHT REMINDER

One of Nox's gentlest traditions.

The House reminds guests to rest when the halls begin settling for the night.

THE FEAST OF NOX

A major celebration involving:

  • Games
  • Food
  • Lore
  • Creative competitions
  • Guest recognition
  • Rewards
  • Performances

At the end of every Feast, one ancient door opens briefly.

The colour behind it determines its meaning.

  • Blue — Memory
  • Gold — Change
  • Silver — Rest
  • Red — Warning
  • Black — End the Feast immediately
