Castle Hyral
Contents
Briefly
Castle Hyral is one of the older canon settings, having been established as far back as December of 2001. Unsuprisingly, then, it boasts spammier origins than many of its more modern brethren. The castle developed out of the ADV!-RPGW/W cross-forum raid--where pseudopersona KingOfDoma gifted FFFanatic with a castle for his brave deeds on behalf of spamDoma--and Welcome to Luigi's Mansi... er... Castle Hyral!!!.
MUSH description
Castle <Hy>ral(#95Rn):
A structure nearly as old as the country of Doma itself, this ancient castle stands near the Shuman Mountains, which run along the nation's western border. It is named for the structure's current owner, a Doman Knight named Daniel Hyral. He received it as a gift from King Charles Domanada, for fighting on behalf of Doma and saving someone very dear to the King.
The castle was long left abandoned, due to the dark history of the structure's first owner, Fergelle Rodalez. This former Doman Knight once attempted to take over the kingdom, using necromantic arts to build an army of undead followers. Fortunately, the kingdom persevered and managed to defeat him. Once slain, a holy binding spell was cast on the castle to prevent his escape should his spirit try to return from death.
Unfortunately, this binding spell has an unusual side effect. It acts as an otherworldly beacon, attracting spirits unable to cross over from the plane of the living. Due to this, many local legends and stories tell tales of the castle, claiming it is haunted by things ranging from seperated lovers to demonic monsters.
