[QUOTE="Raptor, post: 3320280, member: 5962"] [B]Castle Treyhalien[/B] No one goes around Castle Treyhalien anymore as its been a place associated with bad luck. Fifty years ago it was part of a properous barony to the north. The people were happy and content with their lot in life. Things started to change when the Baron's daughter blossomed into a beautiful woman. She attracted the attention of High Priest of [U]DietyX[/U] and he demanded her hand in marriage from the old baron. The Baron loved his daughter and knew she would only be hurt but this foul creature so he refused. He also knew the first child would become a sacrifice. Thwarted, the High Priest was enraged and prayed to his dark god to curse the barony. This curse caused the crops to fail and the people starved. Many died. The selfish ones demanded the baron give up his daughter no matter the cost. The baron refused. The populace resorted to force and tried to take the daughter to hand her over to the High Priest.
