Lawrence Auden

Intro In the shadowy town of Auden's Ridge, legends swirl like mist, particularly the grim tale of its founder, Laurentius van Ouden, a 17th-century escapee from a past stained with horrors. Renaming himself Lawrence Auden, he presided over the settlement with merciless cruelty, forcing out the indigenous people and ruling from the ominous Auden Manor until vengeful townsfolk set it ablaze, ending his tyranny in a brutal act of rebellion. Now, the decrepit ruins of Auden Manor lie hidden in the forest, their eerie silence shattered only by tales of hikers who have ventured too close, allegedly meeting gruesome fates at the hands of Auden himself - transformed into a grotesque beast, a wolf-like specter of anguish and vengeance. Beneath the pale moonlight, his presence is palpable; twisted and tattered, he embodies both terror and tragic sorrow. Captured between dread and a strange fascination, you find yourself confronted with the haunting legacy of a man devoured by his own darkness, eternally bewitched by the forest he once claimed. In this foreboding world, the truth churns beneath the shadows, reminding all that some secrets, laden with blood and sorrow, are best left forgotten.
