Background
Edekar is obsessed with the morbid, the macabre and the occult. The death of his mother kick-started it all and the man remembers vividly how carefree she had looked upon the world as her body spun around at the end of a rope, her golden hair dancing in the wind. Haunted by his past the boy looked at the future from underneath a black veil, death ever accompanying him. He learned to deal with the dark clouds that loomed overhead by channeling his thoughts and feelings into writing. The ramblings of a hurting soul don’t sell that well and Edekar saw himself forced to having to write more popular fiction: an upcoming genre was gothic horror, inspired by the great writers Marianne Shellas and Bron Stokar, two Ustalav natives.
It was during his time as a fledgling writer that Edekar met professor Lorrimor at a seminar on the occult: the many layers of the Dark Tapestry and what lurked in the beyond. The old professor saw a spark of creativity in the young man, telling Edekar to never lay down the pen and keep him up to date of his recent writings. The two agreed on the idea that a good story needs to be rooted in reality and they exchanged many a letter on the details of the societies, people, cities and history of Avistan. But while the macabre and the occult fascinated him, Edekar was anything but a fearless man. In fact, Edekar hates the idea of having to leave his house. The horrors he created flowed out of his pen. He had total control over them, but the horrors that lurked out there in the real world were beyond his control.
When the news reached him that his long-time friend Lorrimor had passed away, Edekar knew that there were no excuses to be made this time. He donned his hat, put on his coat and prepared for the long journey from Andoran to Ustalav. After all, how bad could it be? The old professor had made the journey countless of times.
