House of the Demogorgon

The House of the Demogorgon is a large mansion off the northern border of Emelé-Redan, Hollen.
== History ==
Originally the location of a small Hollen-based colony known as Aride. The colonists worked tirelessly to make a living in the harsh, unforgiving canyon side. When Deorr were sighted nearby, word was sent to Redan for soldiers. When the soldiers arrived, they found not only the colonists dead, but also the Deorr who infested the area. As a tribute, the soldiers buried the colonists.
Soon after, a Demon named Vade came upon the cemetery and the sleeping soldiers. Moved by their compassion for their fellows, Vade woke them (to their horror) to assist them in making a proper graveyard. The soldiers were just as confused to find a kind Demon as they were to find one that wanted a higher quality cemetery. Those who attacked Vade were effortlessly cut down. The remaining five soldiers (of the initial 30) assisted Vade in manually burying the recently dead, and creating an even larger graveyard. It was then Vade began the slow, manual construction of a house to watch over the dead.
Soon, the surviving soldiers returned to Redan to report on Vade. The returning military envoy found a large mansion at the site Vade was last seen at - partially under construction by Vade (who never stopped building from the moment they left). Although Vade politely requested their help in constructing the great hall, he came under attack and the hall was burned. Vade then slew all of the soldiers (all 200) effortlessly, and started the process over again.
At this point, a messenger from Vade delivered a document and sum of coin to Count Alfred of Redan to purchase the land. The Count sold the deed and charter of the stead to Vade, who then proceeded to build the house once again. After months of nonstop construction by the Demon, the great mansion was complete. Old burned wood from the previous building was used to decorate the outer walls, with weak Deorr and Iflyte's brought in to guard the property.
Today, the House of the Demogorgon is still inhabited by Vade, who has taken the moniker of 'The Grey Lord'. Vade is said to welcome all into his hall to enjoy his home and company, but many are wary to visit because of the constantly expanding graveyard, which now hosts over five-hundred bodies.
