But that is the task at hand. Just as a dark lord hardly ever starts his life as one, a manor hardly ever starts as a stronghold. Delwood Manor, the estate of The Most Honorable Theowin Leybold, Marquess of Delwood, had been a largely wholesome place in the not-yet-distant past. Presently, however, a certain restiveness stirs under its polished marble and granite veneer - one that has driven off numerous previous inhabitants, one way or another.
The same unease drives several members of its current residents to action. They coordinate with members in the employ of the military and royal court to eliminate the threat to the kingdom by any means necessary - provided that the whole affair is handled under a shroud of complete secrecy.
