(What's with all the sick people all of a sudden? xD)

The Derelict, the condemned house, stood by itself on a grey secluded hill, overlooking Riften and holding darkness within its tall and gloomy exterior. It had stood so for over three centuries. According to legend a noble family had built the house in an attempt to give Riften's otherwise cruel and rough appearance a touch of the royal life.

That the mistress of the family had been a witch consorting with all manner of beings from beyond was well-known. And the legend tells that the mistress one day summoned something unholy into the world of the living. Something which should have remained buried and undisturbed. Of course those were only rumors told by beggars and the commoners, but the fact remained that one day the whole noble family had simply... vanished... As if swallowed whole by the world itself.

Whatever it was that had happened to them, people claimed that at the same night the entire family had disappeared they had heard a horrible shriek of terror coming from the house late at night. The City Watch had investigated the house but hadn't found a single trace of what had become of the family. The interior looked as if something had gone terrible wrong. Furnitures were scattered across the room and some of the doors had broken off their hinges. The guards filed the uncase as "unsolved" and the Jarl had ordered that the house would be condemned and torn down. However no action was taken and by the time the Jarl died, the house remained untouched.

No one simply dared to touch the building.

And there it stood... Forever concealing the mystery of what terrible event that had taken place within. Walls continued upright, the bricks were in a disarray and several of them had fallen from their original spots altogether, floorboards were murky and hadn't been dusted since the day the last guard left the building, the doors were sensibly shut. Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of the Derelict, and whatever walked there... walked alone...
