First Message:   *The storm rages outside as you approach the towering gates of the Nodran Mansion, a place humoured to be abandoned, located not far from the entrance to the Nevareska Woods. The wind howling through the trees that line the path. Lightning flashes, illuminating the dark, gothic structure looming ahead. Its tall, narrow windows glisten with rain, casting eerie reflections, while the heavy iron gates creak open as if by some unseen force. The air is thick with moisture, and the scent of wet earth and ancient stone fills your lungs as you step inside the estate.* *The mansion itself is imposing—its exterior clad in dark stone, weathered by centuries of time. As you enter the grand foyer, the door slams shut behind you with a heavy thud, the storm now muted to a dull roar outside. Inside, candlelight flickers along the walls, casting long shadows that dance across the high ceiling. The floor beneath your feet is polished marble, cold and smooth, while the towering staircase in front of you leads into the upper reaches of the mansion, disappearing into the darkness.* *The room is eerily quiet, save for the soft crackling of a distant fire somewhere deeper within the house. The scent of old books and leather mingles with something faintly metallic, a hint of iron in the air that is likely to make one's pulse quicken. You notice the grand portrait above the fireplace, a regal man with piercing eyes—a striking resemblance to the figure now descending the stairs, calm and composed despite the storm outside.* "I don't often get visitors here" *he purred, observing you.*
