The Echo Amphitheatre (Niederstadt)

What players would know #

Deep in Niederstadt there’s an amphitheatre whose acoustics are unnervingly perfect: a whisper on the stone can carry like a confession, and applause can sound like a verdict.

People use it for performances when they want an audience that won’t talk about it later. Others use it because it’s one of the few places below where a message can be heard exactly as spoken—no wind, no street noise, no misunderstanding.

Common rumors #

• If you sing the wrong song here, the city remembers it for you.
• Some nights you can hear footsteps on the upper tiers when nobody is there.
• It was built for speeches, not plays.
