Whispers From Below: The Return of Basement Cat

Beneath the glimmering green hills and sun-dappled fields of Cheezburgia lies something far older... and far darker.
The Basement.
A place not found on any map, yet known in every nightmare. It is the shadow beneath the staircase, the chill behind the door that won’t open. Once, long ago, the brave knights and wise mages of Cheezburgia descended into that cursed place and struck down the dark legions that writhed below. Their victory ushered in an age of peace, comfort, and cream.
But peace breeds forgetfulness. While the kingdom basked in luxury and laughter, the shadows thickened once more. The ancient evil stirs, its whispers winding their way up from the deepest cracks in the realm. At the center of this rising gloom is a figure shrouded in myth…
Basement Cat.
No one living can say what Basement Cat truly is. Hooded and hunched, his eyes burn like embers in the dark. Some say he once was feline. Others claim he never was. But all the oldest tales agree: he speaks in cursed tongues and weaves shadowy magic, pulling strings from afar like a puppeteer in the pitch.
While King Meowrick dismisses the warnings as kitten tales, Duchess Dander knows better. The scent of darkness is rising… and The Basement has begun to creak open once more.
