The arrival

lyrics

You arrive in this quiet region of the barony on a gloomy morning. Stenfeld stands on a hill and is a small center of artisans, shepherds and farmers. The people of the country are silent and hastily conducts business. In Stenfeld there is an ancient abbey of the paleochristian cult: very suggestive stories are told about the past of the abbey, when, about a century and a half ago, the abbot was a man called Smotelius; he is remembered in the chronicles for his oddities and the gloom of his character. Much information about the abbot can be found in the annals of Brumais, musty volumes kept in the town hall library: there, the abbot is described as very shy and silent, but it is said that anyone who intercepted his gaze was overwhelmed by a feeling of madness and wickedness. The abbot was obsessed with studying, even if he dealt with subjects far from the ecclesiastical ones: it is said he dealt with black magic and necrophilia; many attribute the desecration of some graves in the Stenfeld cemetery to him and his dark monks. The abbot committed suicide at the incredible age of 111: he burned himself alive in front of the church altar after chasing away the monks.
For seven years after his death, countless misfortunes (at least so the legend goes) hit the village of Stenfeld. The inhabitants still curse that mad abbot who came out of nowhere. Among the rumors about Smotelius is that he hid impressive riches somewhere in the abbey. This is obviously what drove you to Stenfeld ...
