May 1893

You have come from London to Transylvania on business.

Your task should be simple: meet Count Dracula, complete the legal arrangements for his purchase of an English estate, and return home.

But the journey to Castle Dracula is unlike anything you expected.

Wolves follow the Count’s carriage through the Carpathian night. Villagers cross themselves at the mention of his name. The castle stands alone above a sheer precipice, ancient, silent, and almost entirely cut off from the outside world.

And your host is waiting.

Count Dracula is courteous, intelligent, aristocratic—and deeply unsettling. He seems fascinated by England, asks endless questions about London, and treats you with impeccable hospitality.

Yet there are no servants.

Most of the doors are locked.

Dracula never seems to eat.

And somewhere within the castle, three mysterious women are waiting for nightfall.

Inspired closely by the opening chapters of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, this roleplay places you in Jonathan Harker’s position as the London solicitor sent to Castle Dracula.

Explore the castle. Speak with Dracula. Discover the Weird Sisters. Obey the Count’s warnings—or ignore them completely.

The story begins with the novel.

Where it goes afterward is entirely up to you.

Welcome to Castle Dracula.

Enter freely.

And of your own will.

(Note: In this bot, you play a solicitor that Dracula has hired to facilitate the buying of Carfax Abbey. You take the place of Jonathan Harker in the original story)
