One of her older sisters may have even had a 'vision' that the house would be cursed and flounder as long as my PC remained alive. My PC suspects such vision is nothing but lies designed to get a potential rival killed and out of the way. Other members of the house have similar suspicions and have proposed we wait and see if signs of ill fortune should appear. This had a two fold effect: my PC is constantly being sent on dangerous potentially life threatening missions, usually engineered that way be the older sister in question and secondly that I have found unsuspecting allies from rival houses, who, if the vision is true, are eager to see me kept alive and the failure of House Darketh become a reality. During these missions I may have had to rely heavily on the skill and ability of my slaves. Only the best and strongest have survived, and a relationship far closer than ever intended has begun to form between us (at least on my PC's part ... no one likes being or having a master obviously). So I have begun to show a differential treatment towards them far beyond their lowly station. And of course this has begun to inflame the talk of the Curse I bring to House Darketh and the beneficial nature of my removal from any and every equation concerning the house. Only my house's enemies and a few influential figures within House Darketh keep my head connected to shoulders for now. And for now, oh the irony, my slaves are amongst the only people I actually trust.</blockquote>
