Setting

The English countryside has for a long time been home to the manor Ravenholme. The history of the house on the hill goes back several centuries, but the history of the site upon which it is built dates back to the time of the Elder Gods.

The mansion's land belongs to no country and its walls reject the constraints of normal society. Since its construction, the house has been a popular resort for nobles and people of class and wealth, and its owners-- whoever they have been over the ages-- host to garish gatherings of hedonism and indulgence.

Glasses of wine punctuate duels to the death, players at cards bet with their souls. It is said that wars have been started and ended in its parlour, entire fortunes lost to dice and the course of history changed.

The house is also the subject of many dark and unsettling rumours. Whispers of creatures seen in the shadows and rituals for mysterious forces are framework to tales of transformation-- of the body, of the mind, of the soul. Those who go into Ravenholme and come out again are different people-- if people at all.

As a character in the setting, you will be a player in a vignette, a single strange tale from the halls of the manor Ravenholme. You and your fellows will explore its many corridors and corners, both unearthing and writing its dark and unusual history with every step taken. You will face creatures of the night and forces incomprehensible; you will face your fellow actors, you will face death itself.

All are but strokes on an epic canvas; each tale a single movement in the grand opera that is Ravenholme.
