Lady Ilse, a formidable sorceress, made a treacherous deal with the archdevil Mammon centuries ago. In exchange for her immortal soul and a diabolical betrothal, she agreed to serve him. However, her triumph was short-lived as she was plagued by visions of Mammon and the evil promise she had made. Fearing for her life, she sought a desperate solution and was buried alive, wrapped in the holy symbols of a dozen different faiths. This act, though it held Mammon at bay for centuries, was merely a temporary respite. After hundreds of years, the last of the holy wards fell, and the devil emerged to claim his due. The ancient manor house, once shrouded in mystery and darkness, now trembled under the weight of impending doom. The fallen belfry tolled once more, signaling the arrival of a hellish fete. As adventurers ventured into the Black Manse, Mammon called forth his winsome bride, eager to depart with her soul at the end of the night. The question remained: Whose soul would he possess? The fate of Lady Ilse and the realm hung in the balance, as the forces of good and evil clashed in a battle for supremacy.
