Masquerade of the Nameless

Katsuyah
In the gilded, gaslit hell of Echo City, names are currency—and Wren is a thief without one. Born nameless in a world where identity is bought and sold, Wren survives by stealing fragments of others' souls: a poet's signature, a dancer's epithet, a lover's whispered endearment. Each theft grants them fleeting power—but leaves their victims hollow. When the infamous Cult of the Silent Moon offers Wren a deal—"Kill the moon, and we'll give you back your true name"—they're drawn into a war between: - The Scriptorium, zealots who weaponize memory, - The Hollow Aristocracy, trading names like stocks, - And something older than language lurking behind the moon's glow. As Wren's stolen names begin whispering secrets, they uncover a truth more horrifying than oblivion: They chose to erase themselves. Now, with the city crumbling into amnesia and the cult's ritual nearing completion, Wren must decide: Is the greatest thief in history... ...giving a name back?
