Castle Lorelei was the home of House Lorelei. It is located on the continent of Wildemount, in the Dwendalian Empire on the edges of the Cyrengreen Forest, about a day's journey from Deastok.^[1] It was home to many generations of the Lorelei family.

BackgroundEdit

The Lorelei bloodline stretches back about three centuries, but only rose to prominence during the war between the Dwendalian Empire and the Julous Dominion. The Loreleis proved their worth in that conflict and were gifted with a stretch of land upon which Castle Lorelei was built.^[2]

Members of the Lorelei FamilyEdit

• Benicio Lorelei
• Aurra Lorelei
• Lucius Lorelei

• Lawrence Lorelei
• Haldor Lorelei
• Katerine Lorelei (Sister to Genevieve and referred to as 'Aunt Kat')

LayoutEdit

KeepEdit

There was a staircase that led to an upper floor. Forming a sort of ring around the vestibule below were the bed chambers of the Lorelei family and Haldur's study.

ChapelEdit

Built against the outer walls of the castle, the family had a chapel dedicated to The Moonweaver. Its pews were pushed aside and various dismembered corpses of castle attendants piled up there when the Lorelei children arrived.^[3]

CemeteryEdit

This cemetery was the resting place for the castle's servants and contained the Lorelei family mausoleum. This mausoleum was built into a naturally formed underground cave system, which was partially walled off.^[4]
