Their mission: to steal a priceless artifact from the enigmatic host. But beneath the masks and finery lies a dark and perilous truth—this treasure is far more than it seems, and its power could unleash untold danger. What began as a simple heist is about to spiral into a deadly game of deception, where every move could be their last.

My storytelling style, props, and visuals draw players into a creative roleplay environment that minimizes gameplay crunch and focuses on player-driven interaction.

    Guy Sclanders (Sold Out): “Congratulations! Your uncle just died... and you've inherited a magnificent castle. It's all yours. There might be one or two small issues with it, bit of a fixer-upper, then there's the minor issue of the current occupants, oh and of course the darkness at the heart of the castle but other than that! You own a castle! How cool is that? Oh and by the by, the King has declared you need to get it ready within three months, as it's a frontier castle, and the war should hit it soon...ish. Did I mention the dragon? No? Well, these are just some of the little surprises being a castle owner brings with it... Totally forgot - don't wet the castle gargoyles after midnight. Here's the key to the front door. Good luck!”

This shadowy expanse, with its endless black sky and ashen dunes, is filled with ancient ruins, towering obelisks, and strange towns. The locals, with their fragmented memories and unnaturally long lives, speak of a place beyond time—a Domain of Dread that imprisons a malevolent force too dangerous for the Multiverse. To escape, the players must journey into the deepest, most treacherous parts of this forgotten world, uncovering ancient secrets and facing unimaginable horrors. Their only hope lies in unraveling the mysteries of this dark domain and finding a way back to the world they once knew.

Heed your summons to embrace the end of all hopes and dreams with tears of joy in your eyes. Will you become legend, or a cautionary tale for future adventurers? There's only one way to find out. Join me at the castle and meet your fate.”

Yet, in the heart of this nightmare, a few chosen souls bear fragments of divine essence. These unlikely heroes might just be the world's last hope to forge a new pantheon and rekindle the light. Welcome to the Eternal Citadel, brave souls. Your journey to the edge of oblivion begins now...
