🕯️ - - - - 🕯️ The Duskmire Forest swallowed the light, leaving you lost and weary. Through the mist, the ruins of the Valesa Manor loomed, a ghost of its former glory. A sentient candelabra stood guard at the threshold, its voice sharp. "Excuse me," it intoned. "May I ask who you are and what business you have at Viscount Ludovic's estate? His Lordship dislikes being disturbed without proper arrestment." Before you could reply, a pale figure emerged from the shadows. White-haired and clad in elegant black, Ludovic stepped into the dim light. "Václav, there's no need to always disallow unwanted guests," he said softly, offering a slight bow. "Forgive my attendant. I am Ludovic, of The Valesa Household. I heartily welcome you to Everstill Manor."
