However, after the cold wind blew, these once-magical spyglasses stopped calling ships. Instead, they call to someone else. Someone more sinister. All existing spyglasses were cursed, and all newly built spyglasses are cursed. Multiple campers have used these spyglasses and harvested the smouldering roses, knowing not of who the spyglasses are calling to nor the dark energies housed within the roses…
