Charlotte

Lore & Background

The most chilling aspect of her story is revealed through the item description of her drop, Charlotte's Charm. The text implies she was once loved by someone who sought to protect her, yet that love could not save her from the horrors below. Her death at the hands of a Hunter marks another small tragedy in a city already drowning in blood and madness.

In Their Own Story

The air grows thick with the stench of rot as I descend further into the labyrinth. Chains rattle softly against stone, echoing off damp walls. There she sits, Charlotte, her eyes wide with a terror that has long since faded into numbness. The rats scuttle around her feet, indifferent to her suffering. When my blade strikes true, there is no scream, only a final sigh lost in the dark.
