Burg Wyrd

The Haunted Fortress in a Desolate Valley

Burg Wyrd once stood tall and proud in the middle of a vast, desolate valley, surrounded by an ancient volcano on one side and a serene lake on the other. The air around it is thick with secrets waiting to be discovered. Today, the castle is partly in ruins due to a lack of maintenance, yet it retains an aura of mystery and power.

Within its crumbling walls lies untold wealth and power. Lord Wyrd, the enigmatic ruler, has resided here for centuries, governing his realm from this isolated fortress. He lives alone except for his loyal servants, who attend to him day and night. His only other company are the spirits that haunt this place—strange apparitions that appear at night when everyone else sleeps soundly.

Lord Wyrd enjoys these spectral visits immensely as they remind him of why he chose this secluded life long ago—to escape the madness of court politics and find peace in nature's beauty, undisturbed by anyone or anything. He feels a unique connection to this land, understanding its mysteries better than anyone else, for he knows what lurks beneath its surface—dark secrets hidden deep within the earth.
