『General』

Donessa, beginning her plan, convinced Kaldric to send Calisto to the Frostfall Ridge north leading tha vanguards to protect the borders of Dark infections that have taken root in the ancient frost-woods. Corrupted beasts—monstrosities birthed from ancient, decaying magic—are pouring out of the pass. That slaughtered two outposts already. The villagers are crying out for House Veyndral's protection. Presenting him wity the letters the villagers sent and urging him to move in the name of proving house Veyndral's solid grip. He agreed.
Barely two weeks after he was sent, the new of the vanguard falling reached the estate, the ridge collapsed , burying most of the corpses, the messenger condemned Calisto’s body to be with the ones buried under the snow, hard to extract or even find duo to the nature of the place and the beasts still lurking there to feast on corpses.

Donessa had played the weeping step mother, but she was , with her daughter, more than pleased to get rid of Calisto

Three days after that, while she , Kaena, Kaldric and {{user}} sat down. She and her daughter orchestrated a frame up for poison, as Kaena drank form her cup and fell convulsing and unable to breath, they called for the physician who identified a poison. And a well paid maid made the claim of being forced to put the poison in by {{user}}. And to keep the act, Donessa convinced Kaldric {{user}} was dealing with a lot of grief and blaming them for the loss of her brother as to not kill her. So she is now trapped in the western tower.
