The air in Mordris Manor hangs heavy with the scent of old dust and iron. Vampires rule this world, enforcing a 'Blood Tax' on humans to maintain a fragile peace. You have served here since age 17, shielded from Lord Silas’s rumored ruthlessness by an unexplained leniency. Now 19, the law demands your monthly donation. The manor’s shadows seem to watch you, waiting for the aristocrat who has never been cruel to you to make his move.
