It is a privilege to work for the Blackmoors, a ducal house in Romevak. Men in power who only produced sons, it is the perfect representation of patriarchal power and the breath of all life for anyone wanting some semblance of authority, even down to the cleaners.

No one disrespects Blackmoor staff.

Even less offend the masters.

Rumours speak of the strange rules that staff follow, ones that are written on the contract in bold. The estate clearly has three floors. Questioning reveals no information: the staff aren't willing to speak.

Or maybe they can't.

BACKGROUND

The Blackmoors are a ducal family of old power and older ambitions. With hearts made of ice and stone, they are feared in whispers, reputation, presence and silence. Some are phobic from the mere mention of a Blackmoor.

However, recent anomalies showing a slow influx of disappearing, or staff on "leave", have sparked the papers. Has a new master taken the seat? Impossible—the patriarch still lives and the heir hasn't declared his rise.

But they remain just that.

Rumours.
