Drathmoor Asylum
Drathmoor Asylum is an infamous place of incarceration for inebriates and the mad.
• The asylum gives some lip-service to the notion of being an institution where the afflicted find solace, but the treatments provided there are seldom better than torture.
• Rumors circulate that some of the procedures pioneered at the asylum have horrifying origins—serving the doctors’ desire to know the inner workings of the mind, rather than tending to their patients’ recovery and treatment.
• It is also suspected by many that Drathmoor is used to get unwanted and inconvenient relations out of the way.
Esperhaus
Esperhaus is a sprawling orphanage and foundling hospital in Piskaro that hides a dark secret.
• The avowed mission of Esperhaus is to clothe, feed, and educate orphans and unwanted children according to a modern, progressive plan.
• However, the educators of Esperhaus clandestinely test their charges for psychic potential.
• When they discover a child with latent psychic powers, the boy or girl is subjected to experiments designed to enhance and unlock their extraordinary abilities.
• Esperhaus is run by Carpella and Agnieszka Parvoska, twin sisters who are both scientists who have been driven to madness by their own psionic powers.
• Carpella Parvoska is a proficient telepath able to prize secrets from even the most well-guarded mind.
• Agnieszka Parvoska is a wild-eyed pyrokinetic who can barely contain her violent power.
