The fortress looms like a jagged tooth against the grey sky, wrapped in the suffocating embrace of a forest where the sun is a forgotten memory. Below the cliffs, the black waters of the lake ripple with the movement of things that should not exist. Yet the true nightmare is housed within the velvet and mahogany of the estate, where the heavy crimson curtains are bolted shut against the dawn. Lord Alaric, the master of this silent tomb, watches from the shadows, his hunger eternal and his patience thin. In these halls, humans are merely curiosities to be collected—or consumed. Only a few trembling servants remain, ghosts in their own home, waiting for the Master's next whim.
