Evershroud Manor

Evershroud Manor

Timor Invictus’s home in Arallu.

Chronicle

14e01

Invictus’s residence, which exploded with positive energy on Rixa 25; mortals sent to investigate never returned, and the undead could not enter. The agents found it under a vast dome with no sky, rays of light shooting from its windows, and a black-winged figure on the grand staircase: “Halt. Pledge your service to me, leave, or die.”

14e02

Its grand staircase was held by Lady Ilyana Nightshade; the positive energy suffusing the manor healed the living agents a little every round, and Flux tendrils ran everywhere.

14e03

Exploring the manor, the agents found Nightshade’s laboratory journal, a library, a gallery of portraits that wail with lost souls, and, in Invictus’s study, a portal diagram and a divine chart featuring themselves. In the basement, a butler guarded a glyph-locked door to Invictus’s chamber, beyond which lay the Veil of Secrets.

14e04

Beneath the manor, behind a door that only the power of the Goddess of Secrets could open, the agents found the Celestial Hand amid seven dusty coffins, then Invictus’s ritual chamber and, behind an enchanted tapestry, the suffering Invictus himself.

14e05

Still shining with positive energy, which kept Malak’s vampires at a distance; Vondal and Callie took refuge inside during the battle.
