## History

### 5000BC

Before the house was built, there was a pre-historic settlement in the house's place where Ogór lived his whole life, unless he had a long hunting day - then he would camp-out in the hunting-ground, more outside of the settlement.

### 1124

In the 1100s, a medieval village was built there which was under a failed attempt of invasion by the Germans due to the accidental death of Helmut "Der Tödliche" Hermann. The village would get destroyed by a storm 200 years after that which made the villagers evacuate.

### 1410s

After the village was destroyed by the storm, a big mansion got built in its place in 1410 on the orders of the king of Poland at the time for a Sir Grzegorz Poniatowski for his key help in having the Poles win the Battle Of Grunewald the same year. The construction was finished in 1412 and their was a grand opening for it with many important members of the Medieval Polish government, including the king himself, after which Poniatowski instantly moved into the house. This house became known as The House Of The Poniatowski Family.

### 1433

A festival at the house takes place. The king comes back to this house and does a huge series of negotiations on the most recent important matters that Poland is facing. Some of the topics covered at the festival were the uprising of the Black Death in neighbouring countries, deciding if Poland should go to war with the Germans and the signing of a special contract that said that whoever succeeds Sir Grzegorz Poniatowski in the ownership of the House Of The Poniatowski Family after his death must hold the Poniatowski surname, officially starting a centuries-long tradition across the generations of the Poniatowski line.

### 1449

Grzegorz Poniatowski dies. Grzegorz was succeeded by his son and now owned the House Of The Poniatowski Family.

### 1503

The mysterious 2 axes that would accidentally kill Antoni Napół in 1979 in the future are created. Nobody knows what they were used for and where they are now.

### 1600s

A fire burns down a bit of the house because of a lightning strike in 1666. The burnt-down part of the house got rebuilt in 1670.

### 1767

An amateur poet named Frederyk Tyk gets killed by a pack of wolves in a forest near the house when he was looking for inspiration there so he could write a love poem to the daughter of the owner of the house during the time.

### 1800s

The owner of the house at the time sells-off the house to a company to make a shoe factory in 1844. One of the first people that got hired there were Józef Szul, who led to the closing of The Poniatowski Factory in 1855 due to his death from a lung disease he caught when working there from the smog. The house would go back to the family a year later in 1856.

### 1914

The Polish Army uses the house as a base to track-down enemies and keep track of everything during The First World War.

### 1818

The army gives back the house to the family at the end of The First World War.

### 1920s

Lady Beata Poniatowska I (The owner of the house during the time) gets killed mysteriously in 1920. Her cousin, Lord Zdzisław "Zdzichu" Poniatowski inherits the house after her. Two years later in 1922 he dies by accidentally falling-off the roof of the house when trying to teach a chicken how to fly.

### 1939

The army uses the house as a base once again during The Second World War with Officer Andrzej Adolwowski as the leader of the army.

### 1941

Officer Andrzej Adolwowski gets shot to death due to suspicion that he was a Nazi spy when in fact he came back from a mission spying for the Polish Army. The soldiers that killed him were rewarded for doing so for making up a story that he betrayed them to cover up their mistake. Officer Andrzej wasn't actually a spy, not a German one at least, but his soldiers thought that because of his Nazi disguise.

### 1945

The army gives back the house to the family again after the war. The people that inherited it were Lord Stefan Poniatowski and Lady Magdalena Poniatowska (Magdalena was the one that was biologically related to the previous owner who died in the war). They only technically lived in the house for about two minutes, because as soon after they entered it, they got accidentally bombed my their own country's plane when it was trying to find a place to detonate some bombs after the war as they were not needed anymore.

### 1953

The president of Poland at the time pays a visit to the house and stays there for a couple of weeks. There was an assassination attempt to shoot him, but he survived.

### 1967

The house got opened for tourists to display its artifacts and antiques to raise a bit of money to renovate the house in the future.

### 1973

A tour bus crashes near the house when driving to the place which killed everyone inside it - there were twelve people inside it, including the tour guide and the bus driver.

### 1979

A primary school teacher named Antoni Napół accidentally kills himself with the two mysterious axes when trying to present them to his class that he took on tour (the axes went missing a day after he died). His death caused the closure of the tours to the House Of The Poniatowski Family forever. The money that got raised from the tours at the end was a fairly decent amount, but it wasn't enough to fully renovate the house. The next people that inherited it still chose to live in the house though.

### 2000

A massive party is held in the house to celebrate the new millenium. Over forty people attended it, them being family, friends, and even neighbours.

### 2007

### Present Day

## Locations

### The House Itself

The House Of The Poniatowski Family is an 8-storey mansion made of dark oak wood with its newer rebuilt parts made of brick. The ground floor houses the living room, the kitchen and leads to the basement where Stefan and Magda live.

The first floor consists of over 5 rooms and the first bathroom. The fifth floor has the second bathroom and some more rooms. The eighth floor has the library and leads to the quite large attic.

### The Garden

At the back of the house is the garden - a grand outside with flower beds and hedges where Beata likes to walk around to take her mind off things. Ogor doesn't go here much because the flowers remind him of his death. In the garden there are also three rusty and overgrown greenhouses and an eroded shed.

### The Forest

On the grounds of the house a vast forest is found. It gets denser and denser as one goes into it deeper. About halfway through the forest there is a small grove of dead trees and fallen logs where Frederyk normally spends time and where he gets most of the inspiration for his recent poems.

### The River

The river is fairly long. It starts at a small lake outside of the house grounds. It stretches through a great part of the grounds and joins up to the forest at a few points. Jurek does not like to go near the river as it is where he died at.

### Near The Grounds

Outside the houses grounds, beyond the rusty gate that is the entrance to them, the outside of them contains the rest of the forest. Towards the gate there is an old broken down tour bus crashed in a tree that crushed it back. That's where the Tour Ghosts live. Only they can be the only ghosts there, because all the main ghosts died on the house grounds, unlike the tourists.
