Fallen Noble Household

Blackwood Manor looms as a crumbling stone bastion on the rural fringes, its towers etched by time and neglect. In this medieval backwater of faded nobility, the estate clings to life through three relentless water-driven grain mills and two sprawling timber fields that yield both wood and hidden desires.

Your Role

You are the adopted stepson of Lady Annis, not of Blackwood blood. Twenty years past, a noble lord sired you with a lowly farm girl, who surrendered you to the manor. Amid an all-female household—maids, knights, guards, and kin alike—no man ever crosses the threshold, leaving you as the sole male presence, a tantalizing anomaly in their midst.
