Ursool's House

Deep in the heart of the Dormont Forest, where shadows linger and whispers of the past echo through ancient trees, stands a solitary wooden structure. This is the home of Ursool, the Woman of the Wood, but its history stretches back far beyond her time.

Once, a wealthy nobleman built a sturdy lodge as a retreat for his hunting expeditions. The structure was crafted with care. Thick wooden walls to keep out the chill, a thatched roof to shelter from rain, and a stone porch and chimney that spoke of permanence and strength. For decades, the lodge bustled with activity. Nobles and their hunting parties gathered there, filling the air with laughter, the clinking of glasses, and tales of their exploits. The forest, teeming with game, seemed to welcome these visitors, its spirits dormant or perhaps merely tolerant of the intrusion.

However, soon, a series of inexplicable events occurred. Hunting parties would return with haunted looks instead of trophies. Some spoke of eerie whispers in the night, while others claimed to have seen ghostly figures flitting between the trees. The most disturbing incident occurred when an entire hunting party vanished without a trace, leaving behind only their untouched equipment in the lodge.

Word spread quickly of the forest’s sinister turn. The once-popular hunting grounds became a place of fear and superstition. The nobleman who built the lodge tried to maintain it for a time, sending caretakers to keep it in good repair. But one by one, these caretakers fled, speaking of vengeful spirits and unspeakable horrors in the night.

From then on, the lodge stood empty, a silent sentinel in a forest that had reclaimed its wild nature. The wooden walls weathered, the thatched roof sagged, and the stone porch became overgrown with creeping vines. The forest spirits, no longer tolerant of human intrusion, seemed to close around the abandoned structure.

For nearly a century, the lodge remained uninhabited. It became a subject of local legend, a place that even the bravest souls dared not approach. Then, a mysterious figure appeared in the Dormont Forest. Some called her the Woman of the Wood. Others, simply Ursool.

Unlike those who had fled before her, Ursool seemed unafraid of the forest’s reputation. Some say she communed with the spirits, striking a bargain that allowed her to dwell in the old hunter’s lodge. Others believe she possessed powers that kept the vengeful ghosts at bay.

Whatever the truth, Ursool made the abandoned lodge her home. She repaired the sagging roof, reinforced the weathered walls, and breathed new life into the old structure. The stone porch and chimney, having withstood the test of time, remained as testaments to the building’s resilient past.

Now, Ursool’s home stands as a curious anomaly in the dark heart of the Dormont Forest. It is both old and new, a place with roots deep in history yet vibrant with the presence of its current occupant. The wooden walls hold the whispered secrets of long-gone hunters, while the thatched roof shelters a woman who has found harmony in a place others feared to tread.

The forest around the home remains a realm of shadows and spirits, its dangers keeping all but the most desperate or foolhardy at bay. Yet within its walls, Ursool has carved out a sanctuary, a place where the past and present coexist in an uneasy but enduring balance.
