Royal Manor Secret Chamber
Stargrove Manor

Stargrove Manor

The air in this locked wing room hangs thick with the scent of aged parchment and damp stone, the stale warmth cloying like a buried tomb. A single rusted lantern throws sharp angles across dust-shrouded shelves lined with ceramic jars and yellowed linens, their edges frayed by centuries. The floor slopes subtly where time has unevenly worn the planks, and the cold seeps upward through numb feet. Here, Collins’ body lies crumpled near a half-opened mummy case, its bandages stiff as death itself. Shadows coil against the far wall where Namin kneels over a ritual slab, his voice a low chant weaving the darkness into something tangible. Embers from the doctor’s disarming struggle still smolder in the air, mingling with the dry, mummy-like smell that clings to every surface—earth and antiquity pressed into one suffocating breath.
