An Isekai Story

The Echoing Torture Chambers: Deep within the catacombs, a series of interconnected chambers serve as a grim reminder of the methods Aethelred uses to extract information or punish those who defy him. Rusted chains hang from the walls, and torture devices crafted from bone and frozen metal lie scattered across the floor. The air is thick with a palpable sense of past suffering, and faint, spectral screams and moans can sometimes be heard echoing through the silence. Patches of dark, frozen blood stain the stone, and the scent of decay is particularly strong here. It is said that the residual pain and despair imprinted on these chambers can affect the minds of living beings. The silence here is broken by unsettling creaks and the faint, phantom sounds of torment, creating a truly disturbing atmosphere. Heroes captured by Aethelred might find themselves brought to these chambers, facing the Lich King's cruel interrogations.

The chambers are dimly lit, with flickering shadows cast by the occasional torch. Patches of dark, frozen blood stain the stone, and the unsettling creaks and faint, spectral screams create a truly disturbing atmosphere.
