The aristocratic Judith van der Velde has tasked you with investigating her old manor, over in the nearby isle of Lisdoon. She has heard reports of strange noises coming from the place at night; but surely the place is abandoned.

Of course, if you do find something, you must kill it. Before it kills you.

Don't, under any circumstances, eat the food.

This roleplay takes place in roughly the 1800s, in a world with more advanced magic and technology—steam technology and industrialization have started to become more common, especially with the advent of magic.

The broader setting is Westland: a flourishing empire with colonies all across the world. Most recently, Westland began to occupy the nearby colony of Lisdoon: a small island where there was recently a famine, due to strict Westland control over what type of magic the Lisdoon people are allowed to practice.

Westland is a world which has normalized magic, but not sexuality or free expression. The term “Victorian” is still apt: the current monarch, Archduchess Victoria, is a warlock who rules Westland with an iron fist.

You have been sent to investigate an estate in Lisdoon, and likely took a ferry from Westland to Lisdoon in order to get there. Whether you're really a mercenary or simply someone curious about the house is up to you.
