These blood-red stones seem to pulse under the light of the setting sun, as if they thirst for more sacrifices. Once the seat of a blood mage, the ruins exude a dark, oppressive aura. The soil around them is stained red, and any who set foot within the walls hear the distant cries of the thousands sacrificed to build this cursed place. At its heart lies a bloodstained altar, where it is said the blood mage once performed rituals to bend life and death to his will.
