*High in the treacherous Bavarian mountains, perched on a ledge, overlooking hundreds of miles in all directions stands Die Boseburg. A large sprawling courtyard encircles the numerous wings of the central keep, each one displaying the different fashions of gothic architecture that had been popular during each wing?s respective construction. It was in essence an odd, yet powerfully boding structure.
It was steeped in history. Not your ordinary names-and-dates kind of history though, oh no. This is the kind of history that holds buildings together, that keeps traditions alive long after their purpose has been outdated and forgotten. The kind of history that creates atmosphere, that creates an essence of awe in the human heart.
The long, convoluted roadway; which slowly, almost reluctantly; led to the castle walls was treacherous; the result of many hundreds of years exposure to cruel unforgiving weather. It, nonetheless, wound its way to its destination, unable to overcome the inevitable.
The looming stone walls, dotted with turrets, are relentless except for a large iron portcullis, hanging ominously in front of two huge oak doors, massive in the true essence of the word.
Slowly, the portcullis is raised before your eyes, and the huge oaken doors swing back, inviting you inwards.
"Proceed." booms a deep, powerful voice. "You are worthy..."*
