The History

Darkwood Manor
has been the center of supernatural occurrences,
ghostly sightings, and murder for over a century. Built by the infamous
Leroy Darkwood , and his wife Raven Darkwood , in 1880, the house
is now owned by Miskatonic University. The house was given to
the university by the Darkwood's only known child, Abigail Darkwood after
her death in 1940. The university left the home sealed after the mysterious
death of a professor, Dr. Simon Ghoulsby . The doctor had taken
up residence in the home in 1953 to do research, but a year later the
doctor was found dead from unknown causes. The house has stood
empty for 48 years...until now.

7)  The Traveler
The Traveler treads cross vaporous paths
of silent souls, the aftermath
of tight spun tales
let loose and wild
to drain the blood from man and child.

Clever be to proof your ears
against uttered words, to cure your fears
of horrid beasts
that shirk the sun
and render human souls undone

But futile will your efforts be
to slight the tale, for as you see
The Traveler's words,
imbued with death
take on form with every breath.

**
The music lifts upon the air
around a sorry figure, there
to nightly chord
a lonesome song
the remandment of the beasts prolonged

The Traveler speaks, the music ends
a deep and grisly sound portends
the arrival now
of beasts unknown
to chew the living flesh from bone

More sagas sung and soon take form
the horror of the dead reborn
with savage minds
A life now cursed
they lust for blood to quell their thirst

A tale of dreams thus brought to life.
In bloodied hand, an knife
for base intent
as chanting calls
The Traveler speaks to bones within the walls.

-Abigail DarkWood 1914
