The Cursed is living on borrowed time. They might be the unfortunate victim of a deadly
disease or the target of a higher power’s rage. Usually, however, The Cursed has sealed
their own fate by selling their soul for fortune and fame. Now their time is almost up, and
The Cursed has realized life itself is the most worthwhile thing they possess. No price is too
high to pay for The Cursed to thwart their destiny, even if it means sacrificing others.
