“Nearly one hundred and twenty years ago, this castle was inhabited by a most foul Lord and Queen, who terrorized the land and its citizens for many years. Tales of bizarre rituals were commonplace, as were rumors of the King’s practice with the mystical arts. Not content with his current dominion and powers, he eventually formed an alliance with another wizard, an entity whose evil matched the King’s own. Together, they sought to rule all the evil planes, and in a great magical war, by combining their powers, they began to vanquish them one by one. It was in one such battle that they first became aware of the existence of the Cosmic Forge.
Having used their magical forces to defeat a demonic arch-deity, they listened in delight to its last plea for life. It told them of a magical pen and of its power: when words were scripted with its point, it said, they were forevermore woven into the cosmic fabric, and thus, the events written came true. The King and his ally slew the demon anyway, but not before discovering the whereabouts of this wondrous instrument of power called ‘The Cosmic Forge’. Eventually, they were successful in stealing this pen. for themselves, and with it, began to script such horrors for the universe that no man has since imagined. It was shortly after obtaining this Cosmic Forge that the two allies became jealous of each other’s power, and realizing they no longer had a need for each other, they engaged in a final climactic battle to determine the fate of themselves and of the magic pen.
That was the last anyone ever heard of them. The castle has since stood vacant No one knows what became of the King, the Queen or the wizard, or of the magic pen. But now that you are here, my friends, all that is about to change.”
