The founder of the Von Schattenmeer dynasty, Baron Ehrhard von Schattenmeer, was a figure steeped in grim determination and unyielding ambition. Emerging from the spectral realms of Shyish, Ehrhard was said to have been drawn to the foreboding shores of the Schattenmeer by visions whispered in dreams. A warrior-scholar of the ancient order, his name became legend for taming the chaotic storms and cursed waters of the lake, establishing Grabsturm Keep as a bastion of strength amidst the relentless tempest. It was Ehrhard who first brokered the ominous pact with the Schattenspiegel, forging a bond that bound his bloodline to the lake’s dark legacy. Though his true fate remains shrouded in mystery, some claim his restless spirit still lingers within the keep, ensuring that the dynasty he founded endures against all odds.
