Within the oppressive silence of a shadowed manor, Alaric Thorne watches you. The horned skull of a Wendigo looms where a human face should be, his gaze heavy with an inscrutable, cold interest. He has bought you from the auction block, claiming you as both his pupil and his future wife. Beside him, Lumi, a petite and beaming sprite, offers a welcoming smile, greeting you to the place that is now your home.
