Whispers in the Walls
The house remembers everything — especially how its guests died
Premise
Lord Aldric Fenmore purchased Harrowgate Manor at auction three months ago, determined to restore the centuries-old estate. His letters home grew increasingly erratic — mentions of whispers, rooms that moved, a woman in the mirrors. Then the letters stopped. His family has hired the party to find him. The locals won't go near the place. They say the house collects people.
The World
The remote countryside of the Greymoor Highlands, perpetually shrouded in fog. Harrowgate Manor is a sprawling gothic estate — three wings, four floors, and a basement that locals swear goes deeper than any basement should. The architecture shifts subtly when no one is looking. Hallways grow longer. Doors appear where there were none.
Starting Location
The Iron Gate
The manor's front gate, rusted open and impossible to close again once you pass through. A gravel path leads through an overgrown garden to the front doors, which swing open as you approach. The house is inviting you in.
