Born in Stirland, Lavinia Neumann was always fascinated by old stories about the von Carsteins. To the horror of her parents, she haunted the old graveyards and tombs, making rubbings of the headstones and learning the history of her land. As she grew older, she grew bolder in her exploits, breaching the doors to the old vaults, at first to look around, but later to see what she could find. Her curiosity eventually caught up with her when she stumbled into the tomb of something that still moved. Fearing the worst, she fled back to her village, vowing never to rob a tomb again. She strung a few extra strands of garlic and daemonbane over her door and prayed for dawn. At first, nothing happened. Over the next few months, people in her village began to disappear. One by one, they vanished until only a few folks remained. She was certain it involved her wayward searches. And so she took up her sword and stake and returned to the vault she had opened, only to find it full of her former townspeople, now transformed into Ghouls. She fled her village that day, leaving Stirland and her past behind her, but vowed one day to return and make right the wrong of her youth.[1a]
