There, she learns that Evelyn has been dead for several years, but that Clara could inherit her mansion.
Exploring the town and its surroundings, as well as Evelyn's former home, reveals the existence of the Pact of the Black Tide, an ancient magic that allows one to alter reality in exchange for a personal sacrifice.
