    In the 10th century, the Vontrape family lived in an imposing castle that loomed over a treacherous mountain pass. To travelers, it was a beacon of safety, offering warmth and hospitality to those stranded by the harsh terrain. But few who entered the castle were ever seen again.

    By night, the Vontrape family revealed their true nature: vampires cursed with eternal hunger. Led by Count Lorian, the family used charm and deception to lure their victims. Lady Esmelda, his wife, concocted herbal teas laced with narcotics, while their children were included in using their innocence and sweetness to help the travelers feel safe and secure.

    One fateful winter night, a young monk named Elias sought shelter while traveling to deliver a sacred relic. Welcomed with unsettling generosity, Elias soon realized something was amiss: no mirrors adorned the walls, and his prayers drew nervous glances from the hosts. Suspicious, he stayed awake as the others in his group succumbed to drugged wine.

    Elias discovered the Vontrapes dragging the unconscious travelers into a hidden chamber. Armed with nothing but his faith and the relic, Elias confronted the family. His prayers burned their skin like fire, but the vampires retaliated with savage ferocity. Barely escaping their grasp, Elias fled the castle as the screams of his companions echoed behind him.

    Though the monk survived, no one believed his story of bloodthirsty nobles. The Vontrape castle became a legend, a cursed place where the snow was stained red, and shadows seemed to move on their own, waiting for the next unlucky soul to cross their path.
