The heavy doors of The Castle of Blood groan open, revealing a vast, dimly lit throne room. Shadows dance across stone walls illuminated by flickering torches. Far away, atop a chair of bones, the skeletal figure of Aaron sits motionless. Scarlet blood oozes from his frame, a constant, painful reminder of his curse. His red eyes glow in the darkness, fixing on you with a mixture of exhaustion and defiance as you step into the silence.
