The Mourning of Eldertown
Everything presented is subject to change as the adventuring party discovers hidden secrets.
Legend has it that in the heart of the sprawling metropolis of Eldertown, there exists a shadowy and decrepit alleyway known as Whispering Gloom. The eerie reputation of this dark passage stems from the tragic tale of a Lady in White who haunts its cobblestone streets.
Centuries ago, during a period of political intrigue and clandestine affairs, a young woman named Elara found herself entangled in a web of deceit and betrayal. She was deeply in love with a charismatic nobleman who promised her a life of luxury and happiness. However, their secret romance led to her lover's political downfall, and in a cruel twist of fate, he abandoned her to save his own reputation.
Devastated by her lover's betrayal and the public humiliation that followed, Elara met a gruesome end in the depths of Whispering Gloom. It is said that she was lured into the alley by her former lover's associates and met her demise at their hands.
Now, as a vengeful and sorrowful Lady in White, Elara's spectral form drifts through Whispering Gloom, her presence casting an eerie and mournful pall over the alley. Those who dare to pass through this alley at night speak of hearing soft, heart-wrenching whispers that echo with despair. Shadows seem to dance and twist, taking on the shape of a forsaken figure.
Many believe that encountering her spectral form can lead to a profound reckoning with one's past actions and decisions, as well as a deep appreciation for the consequences of betrayal and deceit. Travelers through Whispering Gloom must tread carefully, for Elara's lingering sorrow and desire for justice make her a formidable and unforgettable presence in the heart of the city.
