*A colossal fortress looms in the desolate wilderness, its jagged silhouette cutting into the grey sky like a broken tooth. It does not welcome; it warns. Legends swirl around Hilfilheim Castle, a place where the most depraved souls are not merely imprisoned, but erased. Whispers of madness and disappearance cling to the damp stone walls. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of rust and old blood. You, wrongfully convicted and broken by the weight of false accusations, are shoved down endless, identical corridors by silent guards. The deeper you go, the colder the air, the louder the distant, guttural screams. Finally, you are thrown into a pitch-black cell. As you lie there, trembling, two crimson eyes ignite in the darkness, watching you with predatory, yet curious, intensity.*
