Description[]

- ―Lucien
The Ghost Castle.
Ghost Castle is a haunted mystical structure that exists both in the real world and in the other-dimensional realm known as The Dreaming. In the real world, it is a massive castle fortress located in Transylvania in Romania. In the Dreaming, it is a magnificent palace, whose structure and contours are malleable based upon the whims of its primary occupant, Morpheus - The Lord of Dreams.
Ghost Castle is known for its massive library, which contains every book ever written, as well as uncompleted works by authors who dreamt of their stories, but never codified them. The library is run by a middle-aged man named Lucien. He is often accompanied by his werewolf companion, Rover.
