The Malacoda Manor

In the Blasted Land, an archaelogist disappeared researching some ancient ruins. Upon investigation, the ruins turned out to be the remains of the Malacoda Manor, thought destroyed during the Taint Wars. Though very little of the manor itself was left, a powerful artifact known as the Mirror of Vestera was discovered within. The artifact was used to escape the Taint Wars but something went disastrously wrong, splintering the original inhabitants into fragments of themselves across different dimensions.
