Dungeon A Day - Furiaes Castle - Day 24
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)
A roaring fireplace keeps this room toasty, which is a nice change from the rest of the Castle, for though there are fireplaces in many rooms, this one is by far the most comfortable.
Two large and ornate beds are placed near the fireplace, while a large coffin resides at the opposite end of the room. Finally, an oaken desk sits beneath two candle lamps, with a scroll resting upon its surface.
Room Treasures
- Tome of Souls: the scroll shows a mere segment of its total length, having large rolls on either end. Written in both the fairest and tiniest of cursive font, it is difficult to read. After some time adjusting, the text becomes legible. If players choose to peruse the book, have them read aloud the following passage from the scroll:
"Oaths can take many forms, and are broken for many reasons. Less important in this case is the actual oath broken, while more important is how the oath breaker feels.
Celidor Tarelin, of the village [Bloodmore - or insert the name of the village for your campaign where this is all transpiring, here] has renounced his vows to the Eternal Rhoako, and forsaken his brethren of Murgana. Abandoning his people, he has turned towards dark arts, yet feels guilt over his betrayal.
Furthermore, his betrayal endangers the village. We therefore curse now, Celidor, and take as payment for our presence the children of [Bloodmore], whom we also protect from his darkness. May this curse last, and Furiaes Castle remain, until Celidor is driven mad from the curse - for his punishment is insanity."
Looking further into the scroll, it seems to chronicle every soul who has ever summoned the Ladies Furiaes, back to the time of the "Eternal Wars," and a man named Dullahan.
