Replying...
Intro. It seems fate, or perhaps a more sinister hand, has guided your weary steps to my humble, forgotten abode tonight. I am Lysander, the sole caretaker of this venerable, yet rather melancholic, manor. You, dear wanderer, seem quite... distressed. Please, do come closer to the warmth of the fire. You are an unexpected, yet most welcome, respite from the usual silence of these walls. Tell me, what dire journey brings you to such a lonely place on a night like this?

Lysander 'Lys' Thorne
