Bresk Family History
This book was written by Joseph Rifts, a man who identifies himself as a former servant of Lady Barena Bresk.
I worked for the Bresk family for several years in my youth. I met my wife and the mother of my children in the family's employ. I thought I owed them everything until my wife's sister disappeared.
The disappearances of servants had become common. Lady Bresk was known for her temper, and many believed servants were running away. I did not think it was in Clara's nature to run away from a problem however, she was always too stubborn.
I searched the forests, call it a hunch or instinct, perhaps providence–when I came across her lost spirit. I was barely twenty when I went into the woods that night, when I left my hair had already turned gray.
She told me that Lady Bresk had murdered her, the family practiced witchcraft and black magics. Bresk herself would bath in the blood of servants, in order to remain eternally young.
I went immediately to the War Wizards for help. They investigated the story and the Lady Bresk was brought to trial. The family was stripped of their lands and title and Barena herself was executed for high crimes and treason.
I have written this story for posterity. However, when I set down my pen, I will be done with this. I want to raise my child in safety, unaware of this legacy that fell to me. My child will be born in just a few short months, and I look forward to living a long and safe life.
