Appearance

His silver hair flickers like lantern light, the brass of his pocket watch gleaming with a faint, perpetual chime. The conductor’s uniform, embroidered with tiny, twinkling stars, seems to shift subtly as if the train were a living dream.

Secret

He knows the true destination of every door in the world, yet he has never stepped into the one that lies beyond his own schedule. The train he steers never stops, its doors open outward into the endless night, and the destinations are recorded in a ledger that glows faintly under the moon.

Hook

A daring adventurer, lost between cities, has heard rumors of a train that travels the night. If they can answer the conductor’s riddle, they may find the destination they seek.
