He communed with elemental spirits, slew his servants and raised them from the dead, and even summoned dark beings from the netherworld, but he found no pleasure in any of these activities. Lord Jourdain eventually came to the conclusion that the mortal realm offered him nothing but tedium and so committed ritual suicide in the hope that the next world might prove more interesting than the present one.Lord Jourdain’s spirit survived his death as he had hoped, but it was bound to his earthly home by a curse he could not explain. Thus, he could not move on to whatever reward – or punishment – awaited him in the afterlife. Instead, he remained forever linked to his chateau.This secret room is also where Lord Jourdain committed ritual suicide, spilling his blood into a large basin that contained numerous magical herbs and chemicals. He hoped that this ritual would not only end his life but allow his spirit to roam freely through the cosmos. Unfortunately, he misunderstood the nature of the ritual he was attempting and so bound himself to the grounds of his chateau.Hervisse the Cook, Wight: ?Landri the Majordomo, Spectre: ?Rixende the Maid, Wraith: ?Dame Helissente, Spectre: This locked bedroom is now the haunt of Dame Helissente, a mistress of Lord Jourdain, who locked herself in this bedroom without either food or water in order to “punish” him for his having taken another lover. Helissente had hoped that Jourdain would express his love for her by saving her from wasting away, but, to her surprise and dismay, he found her actions diverting for a time and ordered the room bolted from the outside as well. He took pleasure in listening to Helissente’s begging for him to release her from the room, as well as her claims to having forgiven him for his “indiscretion.” The jilted mistress eventually died in the bedroom and her vengeful spirit rose as a vengeful spectre.Undead Ooze: Created by Lord Jourdain through necromantic rituals.Skeleton: A result of Lord Jourdain’s intervention.An undead ooze can also expel skeletons from its body, which fight on its behalf.Zombie: ?Ghoul: Servants of Lord Jourdain whom he tricked into cannibalism and thereby set on the path to becoming ghouls.Ghast: ?</blockquote>
