A Plague is sweeping across the frigid country land, leaving in its dire wake an abundance of stark, bloodied corpses. The Weeping Hackle does not refuse victim and nor the old or young are spared. An unknown hope to cure this plague and end its reign is nestled away, distant from it all: Mournyver, silently working in the back ground as the settlements nearby are devastated. Od, an orphan by title and a doctor through her Father's legacy, slowly makes the trek to this supposed refuge from the Weeping.
However the Castle should certainly not be taken at face value, there's more than just illed bodies slinking the halls and taking respite in the bedrooms.
