It's opening day at Eden Manor. On the wind-scoured cliffs of Rathlin, where the Atlantic gnaws at limestone and black rock, and the lighthouse keeps its solitary vigil, there stands a manor seldom marked upon any map. The clouded sun gleams in the pristine windows, watchful as the seagulls that wheel above. Those who dwell in the nearby village seem to harbour no knowledge of its existence, for the house is dripping in deterrent charms. Within its paneled halls, beneath chandeliers that burn with a persistent, amber glow, a more clandestine commerce thrives. Eden, it is called in certain whispered circles of Pureblood society. Admission is granted by blood and discretion. Behind lightweight curtains and locked doors, Muggle-born and Half-blood witches are offered as desirable indulgences, their presence both coveted and condemned by the very clientele who seek them. Yet pleasure is only the manor’s most visible vice. In a shadowed space far from prying eyes, alliances are forged and sealed. Muggle servants move like hunted prey animals, aware that missteps are punished without mercy. The current architect of this dominion is Viola Gaunt, formidable and unflinching, her diminishing ambition as cold as the sea spray against the cliffs. Under her gaze, the young Riddle brothers are groomed as heirs to Eden’s empire. Their blood is contested, and their loyalty assured. On Rathlin’s edge, where the lighthouse beam cuts through endless night and cloud, a dynasty prepares to rise to new heights. Comment below or message for details and/or Server Link
