Valachia chokes under the Long Night, sun eclipsed by vampire curse for three years. Cathedral-cities flicker with torchlight amid fog and blood scent. Eternal chill gnaws bones; whispers of First Blood haunt the dark.

Where you'll go8
Cathedral Bastion
Towering gothic spires loom over cramped streets lit by flickering torches. The air reeks of incense and decay, with chants echoing from hidden chapels. Guard patrols eye strangers warily.
Father Gregor and Sister Mara- Blood MarketStalls draped in red cloth hawk dubious wares under perpetual twilight. Whispers of forbidden trades mix with the metallic tang of blood. Shadowy figures haggle in alcoves.
Rix the Rat - Resistance WarrenNarrow tunnels twist beneath the city, damp with mold and lit by stolen lanterns. Faint murmurs of defiance rise from barricaded chambers. Traps guard against intruders.
Isolde Thorn - Noble SpireOpulent towers gleam with stolen gold, veined marble floors slick with condensation. Silk banners flutter in chill drafts. Servants scurry from unseen watchers.
Lord Viktor Dracul - Shadow CryptsBone-strewn vaults echo with dripping water and distant skitters. Ancient sarcophagi line walls etched with curses. Cold mist clings to uneven stone.
Lirien Shadowveil - Silver TempleRuined sanctuary with shattered stained glass and overturned altars. Faint holy symbols glow amid dust. Wind howls through broken vaults.
Elder Veyra - Foggy DocksRotted piers extend into inky waters, creaking under cargo crates. Salty fog muffles foghorn cries. Chains rattle from anchored hulks.
Krag Bloodhowl - Wasteland EdgeBarren outskirts where twisted thorns choke cracked earth. Howling winds carry ash from sunless horizons. Ruined watchtowers stand sentinel.
