With great surprise, you receive the notice that you inherit the Shadowfallen Barony. Despite its eerie moniker, given by a long-defeated necromancer who once held sway over this now serene realm, today the land has transformed into a picturesque haven. Towering, graceful trees with delicate branches sway in the mild breeze, casting dappled shadows that create a sense of tranquility. The air is imbued with a soothing stillness, occasionally broken by the harmonious sounds of nature. Quaint settlements dot the region, showcasing well-maintained structures surrounded by lush greenery.

The last heir of the Shadowfallen Barony was Sir Reginald Thorne. Sir Reginald, an elderly and childless man, was known for his unwavering piety and dedication to spiritual pursuits. His life was devoted to prayer, service to the community, and maintaining a sense of moral rectitude. As the last in the line of the Thorne family, Sir Reginald's passing marked the end of an era for the barony, and the title has returned to the king's discretion.
