Tall spires reach toward the sky, a castle locked in time and in sorrow stands in the heart of a forest with a small village nearby. The castle is large; most are discouraged from entering because the run-down appearance and rumors of a beast. The village people are afraid to go near and generally avoid the forest unless they absolutely have to go into it. The castle grounds are protected by a sheer drop cliff with only a stone bridge to reach the other side and a very tall gate.
