Dungeon A Day - Furiaes Castle - Day 19
In a leaf-fallen forest, under a full moon, a dark shadow lies over a single cottage. Looking up, you can just make out the outline of a ghost-like castle, somehow floating in the autumn skies.
Beneath it, candle-like wisps flit about, summoning all souls who can hear their call, to the "doorway" through which all may pass to the floating keep.
This is the place to which children from the nearby village have been kidnapped, reports claim. But seeing Furiaes Castle in person is more unsettling than you'd hoped.

Room Description (Read the Following Text to Your Players)
This well-lit and cozy room is filled with books along its edges, and piled across two chairs and a table. In the room’s third plush chair is a black armored suit, with no head. Disturbingly, the armor moves ever so slightly, when you enter.
Room Challenges and Treasures
- Book of the Furiaes: a successful Intelligence roll (Fate Roll Difficulty matches Avg. Party Level, +1) reveals to players a book that was tossed into the fire, but hasn't completely burned up. It features pure black leather binding (now mostly destroyed), with the title in ornate gold that can just be made out as, "Book of the Furiaes." If players choose to peruse the book, have them read aloud the following passage from the book, which they find on an earmarked page, and is the only section still readable from the entire work:
"The Furiaes are the physical manifestation of broken oaths. Embodied as three dark sisters, they take vengeance upon oath breakers.
The Furiaes are not righteous, acting on the behalf of those that were harmed. Instead, when someone who has broken an oath curses themselves for their oath-breaking, that self- curse manifests as the Furiaes, who then torment the oath breaker.
Normally, an oath breaker is met with spells and negative energies cast by the Furiaes, from afar. Only on very rare and important occasions do the three sisters visit an oath breaker in person, capturing them (and perhaps their kin) into their floating, ghastly castle."
- Dullahan: players have no way of knowing at this time, but this book was thrown into the fire by Dullahan, following his disgust at the kidnapped children. He's since had a change of heart about serving the Furiaes Sisters.
