House of Blackflame

Welcome, stranger

Blackflame manor

The exterior of Blackflame Manor has always been somewhat decrepit and windswept. Though the manor is in the middle of a vast clearing of lush greenery, the ground is cursed and unfertile. The earth is littered with dead shrubbery and devoid of living things; some say this is due to dark magic tainting the land during the manors construction.

The manor is built of stone and resembles a somewhat classical gothic style. The sheer size of Blackflame Manor can seem fairly intimidating to the inexperienced, yet for every ounce that is seen with the untrained eye, there is twice the space, secret tunnels and passages. It is important to remember this manor is of dark origin and intent.

The sprawling complex is filled with a vast number of rooms to accommodate the large numbers of the clan. It also boasts a great library, several sitting rooms, fireplaces, private apartments, dining halls, wine cellar, and many other mysterious and ominous rooms.

Blackflame Manor interior is richly decorated. Great time and care has gone into every detail of this massive home. In the main sitting area the staircase to the second floor wraps around the room, giving the room a very open and airy feel. No expense has been spared; the floors in the manor are either carpet or marble – also richly decorated.

The balcony that overlooks the first floor main sitting room contains a small lounging area, composed of a few chairs and a table. Below the balcony is a bar area, housing different types of alcohol, from beers, to wine, and hard lacquers – it can all be found here.

Throughout the home there are many sitting areas with grand windows, counters sprinkled with candelabra, the ceilings with ornate chandeliers, and the halls strewn with sconces – all burning an unnatural flame. The furniture style is typically more old-world felt and less modern.

The solitary halls of the manor are lit with the somewhat dim sconces that are mounted along the walls throughout the home. Most of the halls in the manor tend to be long and give a fairly menacing feeling. For the family members that live in the home it is all quite inviting, yet to the outsider this could be a horrifying experience.

The basement area of the manor is enormous and several of the halls lead to the catacombs scattered under the foundation. The cellar houses a vast wine cellar and the inter dimensional portals created by Dante.

The Main Storyline

IMPORTANT NOTE
You do not 'have to' participate in the main storyline, though it is encouraged! You may do as you please being part of the Blackflame family - it is up to you!

It's still unclear to the survivors what exactly happened; dark magic gone wrong, the old god's wishing to begin anew, the very essence of Ayenee itself rejecting what it's inhabitant's had made it, or an explanation far more mundane that a mortal might use, plate tectonics and the like. In any case, destruction on a massive scale was wrought, and the mystical land was left in ruins, the world changed in ways beyond imagining, with large swaths previously livable now covered in oceans and deserts.

When Dante returned to the land in which he was born, the Blackflame Manor was his first destination. Not knowing if it was mere coincidence, or the dark forces that'd permeated the ground beneath, he found the Manor all but unscathed, save for the evidence of time and erosion. It was not long after this that Midori used a powerful spell to bring some semblance of elegance back to the manor, and it became something like itself again.

During his otherworldly travels Dante had come across a dimension filled with mortals, a world these beings call 'Earth.' It seemed they lived without fear of his kind, or any other creatures that dwelled within dark places. The perfect place for him and his kind to begin again, full of fresh souls to harvest and funnel back into their own plane of existence. He knew that if they gathered enough of these souls, eventually their family would have not only the power to take over this new, beautiful world, but to restore their former homeland of Ayenee as well.

It was no simple task, but he managed to establish a gateway between these two worlds, disguised in the cellar of their Manor as a simple, redwood door. On the other side of this door, in this place called 'Earth,' he had a Manor built that was identical to their own. From here it was merely a matter of finding others of his clan, those that'd been lost, or through the creation and birth of the newest generation, to assist him in his efforts in bringing glory back to their family and Ayenee.
