THE PAPER LANTERN

📜 Briefing
Every autumn the town of Verrin fills its streets with glowing paper lamps, and every lamp comes from one crowded workshop above the market. This year the head lamp maker has vanished a week before the festival, leaving the shelves full and the workshop lights still burning.

You have been sent to find out why. The maker was careful and a little secretive, and left small notes in odd corners of the town. Follow them in order, because each one points to the next.
