Setting:Tabula Gloria/For'Channar/Rennington Manor
Though the history of Rennington Manor, at the northern tip of the Phrennoack Forest along the coast of the Northern Sea, has it originally built as a fort in the style of Deeanday and Thagaisa, the records found in the Archive has had the Emperor for which it was built redacted. Given the tale of the Rennington clan, the redaction is rather justified. In its days as a fort, Rennington was of great strategic importance in the combat of pirates and mutants from the Wastes of Vashial, as well as serving as an advance guard against the hordes of Raptorlords which would come the Empire's way. It worked well though, as the pirates and mutants took their aggression elsewhere and the Raptorlords changed their strategy and attack vectors. As such, Rennington was decommissioned and turned over to its owner, Lord Rennington to serve as his home away from Tabula Gloria. With him he brought his wife Lady Rennington as well as their seven children soon after the decommissioning to enjoy a lovely spring vacation on the relatively peaceful waters of their part of the Northern Sea.
Or so they thought. Soon after their arrival, a plague struck the family, as well as the northern reaches of neighboring Phrennoack. Fortunately for the Lady, a retinue of Morningtides were dispatched from Deeanday quick enough to help heal her, though the rest of her family were unable to overcome the illness. It was bad enough that the Lady became a widow in what seemed like the blink of an eye, but things were going to get much worse. Be it due to a woeful overlook by the Morningtides, a magical occurrence which took advantage of the plague, or the purported study into forbidden magics to revive her departed family, the Lady took on a terrible parasite unto her spirit. It harbored an awful hunger of human flesh, for which it bartered to preserve her soul from being devoured itself. She would fulfill her part of the deal by going into the towns and using her stunning good looks to seduce unwitting men into her trap.
To this day, Rennington Manor is officially off-limits to the public and the travelers of the world are oft warned about the dangers of the the Lady in Red.
