The Castle of the Lake Part 6

The Castle of the Lake Part 6
The sleeping quarters are spacious, though covered in layers of dust.  The beds have fallen through their frames, the mattresses are moth eaten and falling apart, and any other furniture in the rooms is questionable whether anyone wants to sit on or use them.  The curtains and blankets are moth eaten, but look as if they were beyond beautiful at some point in time.  The windows are stain glass, though many are just of simple garden scenes or battle scenes.  Sir Vargin states that the royal family was large and well loved by the locals, but he does not know if they lived or not.  He will not say what happened or when he is from and if pressed, he seems very hurt by the questions.

For the GM the royal family did escape, though several were lost during the escape.  They resettled near by and became leaders of a small village that grew into a moderate sized city.  Most, if any, do not know they are descended from the royals of this castle.  Here is the crux.  If a member of the royal family, or their descendants, were to enter the castle, it would remain and no longer be cursed to bounce around in time and space. If the players were to pry this from Vargin and accomplish bringing a descendant to the castle, Vargin would be forever grateful.
