Narration

You have traveled far – through marble and blood, through the shadows of temples and the gaze of statues, through the rustle of ancient parchments and the echo of thousands of feet that have trodden here before you. But it is here, on the quiet Aventine Hill, that your journey ends.
Not where the columns shout. Not where the crowds reign. But here – where silence sounds like an answer.
It is no coincidence that the Aventine closes the circle of the seal. It was here that Romulus once turned his back on Remus. It was here that the discord was born – and it may also end here.
You reach a door with a hole. When you look through it... you will see something that connects three kingdoms: earth, art, and sky.
But beware – this look is a test. Not everyone sees the same thing.

EPILOGUE

The old man in the hat left a message for you. He appeared suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly.

"If you are reading these words, you have reached the end that cannot be described on a map."

Do you still remember how it all began? The first trace of blood under the Colosseum? The whisper of history in the Forum? Passage through the Mouth that knows more than anyone?
From that moment on, Rome never let you go.
It wasn't a game for points. It was a test. An attempt to look deeper than others - where the ruins speak in whispers, and the seals don't open doors, but memories do. Carrying them with you, you are no longer just a guest in this city.

You are his heir!
Here is your Seal of Inheritance.

"The heir to Rome is not he who conquers. He is he who remembers, looks, and carries the story forward."

And although the Eternal City never tells everything directly, it has revealed more to you than to many others. Keep what you have heard. Share what you have understood. And never, ever trust marble statues that have no shadows.
Rome is silent. But her heirs speak out.

- The one who disappeared before the first riddle
