The players discover the journal of the failed necromancer, a woman with a mysterious and sinister past. Her name is Elyssia Blackthorne, a once-promising wizard who delved too deeply into the forbidden arts of necromancy and fell under the sway of the Cult of Vecna.
Elyssia's journal is an eerie tome, bound in dark leather and adorned with an unsettling symbol—a withered left hand with a glaring eye at its center, the unmistakable mark of Vecna. The pages are filled with arcane glyphs, twisted incantations, and chilling accounts of her encounters with undead horrors.
In her journal, Elyssia details her fervent attempts to commune with Vecna and gain his favor. She speaks of dark rituals performed under the light of the blood moon, sacrificing innocent lives in her desperate bid to summon the Dread Lord of Secrets. The pages are filled with sketches of undead abominations and diagrams of sinister runes, all aimed at harnessing the necromantic energies she sought to control.
However, her efforts prove futile, and the ritual to contact Vecna fails, leaving Elyssia filled with both disappointment and dread. The journal reveals her increasing desperation, as the curse she hoped to unleash upon Hollowbrook begins to spiral out of control. The relentless undead scourge she unleashed threatens to consume the village entirely, and she realizes that she has lost control of the dark powers she sought to wield.
As the players read through the journal, they uncover the tragic tale of a once-ambitious wizard, consumed by the allure of forbidden knowledge and the promise of dark powers. Now, they must find a way to break the curse that plagues Hollowbrook, but the remnants of Elyssia's dark influence linger, posing an additional challenge in their quest to save the village from the relentless undead horde.
Qurik
Elyssia has an unsettling fascination with collecting and preserving body parts from the undead creatures she encounters. She carries a small bag filled with various bones, claws, and teeth taken from zombies, skeletons, and other undead beings. This macabre collection is her way of showcasing her dedication to the cult's necromantic practices and her belief in the power of undeath. Whenever she defeats an undead creature, she takes a moment to carefully select a body part to add to her collection, treating it as if it were a valuable artifact. This quirk not only serves as a reminder of her devotion to Vecna but also highlights her eerie and morbid nature.
