Chronicles of the Ancient Light - Lords of Shadow 2
  City Memorial - Dracula
[edit]
On the exact spot of this memorial, what are known as the Chronicles of the Ancient Light were discovered 500 years ago. These apocryphal texts detail the horrific experiences of those who managed to escape from the claws of Dracula. Most of them lost their mind and parts of their bodies too, devoured by ghouls, vampires and harpies. These survivors soon died of the most awful infections and deliriums. However, a few miraculously managed to return safe and sound. Thanks to them, maps of the inside of the castle and precise tales of the horrors that took place inside were pieced together. It was the great Roland de Ronceval, Paladin of God, who made military use of those maps, gaining knowledge of the castle that, in hindsight, was crucial to defeating the Prince of Darkness.

The Great Explosion - Lords of Shadow 2
  City Memorial - Dracula
[edit]

It claims that the release of energy was the work of God himself, and that it was he who channeled His power through Roland de Ronceval. His representative on Earth, to defeat the forces of evil.
