FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 10 0 I've been hearing rumours of some calamity befalling the occupants of a castle overlooking the Orange Road, north of the Imperial City: Hoarfrost Castle... Apparently, they were all killed by some malevolent force inside the keep; and only the Castle Steward survived to tell the tale. He now waits outside the gate for someone brave enough to come and help: to venture into the keep. Perhaps I could go speak to him, and find out what really happened there.
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 15 0 I have met with Ignatius Essagan, Steward of Hoarfrost Castle; and now sole owner, following the recent massacre of the Callonus family who lived there previously. He has, in turn, offered ownership of the castle to me; if I can rid the keep of the undead host that has taken up residence. I have turned his offer down for now, but he remains hopeful that I will change my mind.
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 20 0 I have met with Ignatius Essagan, Steward of Hoarfrost Castle; and now sole owner, following the recent massacre of the Callonus family who lived there previously. He has, in turn, offered ownership of the castle to me; if I can rid the keep of the undead host that has taken up residence. I have accepted his generous offer. Ignatius says the revenants came up from the cellar - so that might be a good place to investigate. Perhaps I can discover where they got in.
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 22 0 I have reconsidered, and accepted Ignatius' generous offer. The Steward says the revenants came up from the keep's cellar - so that might be a good place to investigate. Perhaps I can discover where they got in.
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 30 0 In Hoarfrost keep's cellar, I found what appears to be a long-abandoned passage behind a broken section of the wall. Affixed to a door in this passage was an... interesting notice that appears to have been written by a lich. The note seems to indicate that this lich is responsible for the undead monsters invading the keep; and that the area beyond the door 'belongs' to them. I should continue on and see if I can find the author of the note.
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 40 0 I destroyed the lich beneath Hoarfrost Castle, and felt a thrum of energy pass through the air as it fell. I wonder what it could mean? In any case, I should probably check its body, before returning to Ignatius to let him know what happened...
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 45 0 Hoarfrost Keep was empty of the undead that filled it earlier. Maybe destroying their lich master served to drive them away. I have done what Ignatius asked; hopefully he will be satisfied with my account.
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 48 0 Ignatius is satisfied that the keep is now free of undead, and has given Hoarfrost Castle to me! The place needs to be repaired and refurnished before it is fit to live in, so Ignatius plans to contact some mysterious friends of his to do the work. First though, I need to make sure there's nothing I want saved left inside the keep; to avoid having it thrown away accidentally during the several days it will take them to restore the castle. I'll need to tell Ignatius to go ahead and contact his friends once I'm ready.

The place needs to be repaired and refurnished before it is fit to live in, so Ignatius plans to contact some mysterious friends of his to do the work. I have given him my approval, and the keep is now sealed until work on it is complete. Ignatius has told me to return after three days: they should be finished by then.
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 52 0 I have given Ignatius my approval, and the keep is now sealed until work on it is complete. Ignatius has told me to return after three days: these friends of his should be finished by then.
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 60 0 Restoration work on Hoarfrost Castle should be complete by now. I should return to Ignatius to see if the castle is ready to be used.
FormID: 01007091 HCGetCastle 70 0 Ignatius tells me that Hoarfrost Castle is ready to be used now. I can look around, and move in, if I wish; I am now the Master of the castle. The Steward also gave me a document he wrote on the particulars of Hoarfrost Castle, and mentioned that there are some things we might speak of regarding the improvement of the castle. I can seek him out in the keep when ready, and find out what he has in mind.
