Description:

April is the cruelest month, breeding
Lilacs from the dead land,
Mixing memory and desire.
- T. S. Eliot

Ruin, redemption, and wealth beyond measure wait beneath the dark manor. To reach it, the heir and his complement of would-be heroes must make their way through ruins, dangerous terrain, and all manner of evil things, only some of which can actually be fought with steel. And sometimes cruel things come in sweet packages.

A tragedy in five parts, with a full chorus of heroes, madmen, monsters, and the unfortunate.
