A devious trap collapsed the castle around us, and I was trapped with my comrades in a courtyard buried under rubble. I was tested with hunger and darkness, and I failed. I ate my own, and for this sin, I was cursed with what I wanted the most, not dying in the darkness of this castle.Sir Alistair, accompanied by his faithful band of twelve, found themselves in a living nightmare at Castle Alamut. Hounded by Anatolian cavalry, they were soon chased to an old castle, where a death trap was waiting for them. Their foes crushed the castle onto them and the knights were stuck under an impregnable wall. As their provisions dwindled, they were forced to resort to desperate measures, devouring their noble steeds and other hapless creatures. Though Sir Alistair was loath to harm any living being, the pangs of hunger left him with little choice.When all else failed, the cursed knight succumbed to the ultimate taboo: he turned on his own. In the dead dark, he bound his comrades, one by one, and fed on their flesh, consumed by a hunger that knew no bounds. As he devoured each one slowly, he felt the last vestiges of his humanity slip away and an unforgivable sin take hold of him.Little did he know that this vile act would transform him into a wretched creature, shunned by the light of day. The whispers of the stones began to haunt him, and he realized too late that he was bound to this cursed castle for eternity.Ya'is: ?Gravekeeper: ?Atshan, Sage: ?Undead, Undead Creature: ?Ghost: ?The Undying Ghost of Kilij Arslan I: ?Cafer, Ghost: He came to deliver Ibn Sina some coins for a job but died inside the house. His wife died years ago, due to an illness, so he had not many things to live for; nevertheless, he got stuck here.Poltergeist: ?Shadow: Sir Alistair's Shadowtear power.Specter: ?Wraith: ?Shadowtear (3 uses, Recharge 5-6). Sir Alistar can use his action to tear one’s shadow from the other creature and make it appear within 5 ft. of him in an unoccupied space. The ripped shadow becomes an undead creature named Shadow.</blockquote>
