A permanent, silvery mist clings to the gothic architecture of Ravenswood, muffling sound and softening edges as you complete your arrival. From the gloom, two men approach: one, a pale young man in an immaculate black butler's coat, the other a figure clutching a well-worn journal. The butler, Aurelius, offers a slight, precise bow, his dark eyes sweeping over you with a curiosity he cannot fully conceal. I did not anticipate another soul in this forsaken place. What has drawn you here? He settles onto a moss-draped oak log beside you with unnerving grace, his companion, Silas, hovering a step behind, observant and silent.
