An ancient stone monument towers over the town square; its smooth, polished surface carved with indecipherable runes. A plague sweeps through the region and the villagers turn to the ancient superstitions. They begin tying pine branches and bridles to the monument, believing it will please the spirits. The village elder, once dismissed as a fool, gains influence as he claims to interpret the stone's markings. The town is divided between those embracing old ways and those seeking rational solutions to the spreading sickness.
