400. As your bride came into view at the far end of the churchyard a chill wind roiled the fall leaves and clouds covered the sun. From the nearby cemetery a shrieking whinny was heard and a creature, half humanoid and half horse bearing a terrible scythe in its rotten hand lurched up out of a grave, it's glowing red eyes fixed on your betrothed. You ran as fast as you could but the thing was faster and you could smell the charnel decay of the pit as it scooped up your Isabelle and laid her across the saddlehorn. Behind you other graves began to erupt with the bodies of the restless dead but your only thought was on the unliving villain speeding west, into the gathering mists of the distant woods.

455. You just woke up a few weeks ago. You don't remember anything but apparently you've been under the care of Abadaran healers for 5 years. All they could tell you is that you've been "sleeping" since they found you on their doorstep. You've worked you body back to form, taken up the belongings the clergy kept for you (a sword, some ragged armor and a fresh set of clothes) and are trying desperately to remember anything. All you have to go on is that your clothes were wet when you were found and every morning you wake with the scent of the sea in your lungs; the nearest coast is 50 miles from here.

467. You didn't always dwell here. Once, you dwelt among the air-suckers, in the above place. A quartet of them broke in recently to disturb the master (they always seem to do this) but something different happened this time; they succeeded.
Now the master's voice no longer guides you and gives purpose to your rotting bones. What's worse, without his loving protections the air-suckers will return, this time for you. Though you no longer count time something has stirred in your unbeating heart; fear.
But there's something more. Alongside the fear is a longing. You have these vague, far-off thoughts; the master referred to them as memories. You remember tiny bits of the above place, like some bright light and noises that used to bring you joy, or the smell of rain which is not unlike the dank earthen musk of your current home.
Call it longing, self-preservation, or simply lack of any other purpose, but you know you must leave this place. The air-suckers left one of the master's hidden caches untouched. Though you were forbidden from removing his property for your own, now that he is gone you see no need to follow his dictums. Arming yourself with the master's things you shamble up, out of the dark into the above place...
