Competition: The Cursed Of Ostara

On the monochromatic moon of Ostara, something ancient has awoken. It has triggered other events of supernatural origin across the moon whilst it also strengthened the call of artifacts of strange origins. Adventurers beware for what you may find, for what may seem to be an item imbued with Magicks or the Force could bear a curse...

In this fiction competition, using characters (Main, Alternate and/or sheeted NPCs) of your choice, you have been tasked with retrieving an artifact that supposedly greatly enhances the abilities of the bearer. A number of locals have gone missing, their families reporting that they had experienced dreams of being called to a location before they vanished entirely.
