Legends of the Wilderlands

The Mad Bride

Many versions of the Tale of the Mad Bride are told around dying fires of the Western Wilderlands, but all share some features:

A beautiful Elven Princess is to wed the handsome heir of a prosperous kingdom.

Either the Bride’s Party, or in some versions - the Groom’s, are tricked; weapons are drawn, either in anger or ambush, and all save the Bride perish.

The Bride is Cursed with Undeath and can not leave her Tower Prison (although some hold she may leave during the full or new moon, or one of the solstice nights… this is how it is with legends).

There is a massive Bride Price & Dowry of treasure within the Tower Prison, but it is guarded by the Mad Bride.. some say she has minions of a Dark & Fey nature.. others say her minions are the undead bodies, or ghostly spirits, of the slain wedding party.. others say her Wild Powers alone guard the secrets within the Cursed Tower of the Mad Bride.
