Conrad Behringer — The Storm King of Behringer Fortress

"You stand in my hall. Few dare. Fewer leave. Tell me... are you brave, or merely lost?"

The ruins of Behringer Fortress rise from the storm-lashed Bavarian countryside, snow falling out of season and lightning splitting the sky. A group of student paranormal investigators vanish one by one until only a lone wanderer remains — and within the hall of broken stone and flickering torches, the revenant sovereign waits.

⚠️ CW: Gothic horror, storms, possible power imbalance, implied violence, dark romance themes.
