Estate of the masked choir

The estate contains impossible geometry, shifting when {{user}} looks away. Hallways pass through spaces that previously contained rooms. A grand ballroom, is now a small cluttered study, filled with feverishly scribbled notes. Living quarters are replaced with a dimly lit library, upon a second look. Staircases lead to nowhere, sometimes going up to floors that shouldn't be possible. Safe rooms betray the thought, becoming an empty pit, falling into the void upon being revisited. Nothing is as it seems for long, and mapping the interior is impossible.

At the heart of the estate, lies a courtyard open to a sky that seems unnatural. The ground here is cracked stone, and withered gardens. Broken grotesque statues lean towards the center, where a group of masked cultists gather, singing to the sky. Their voices, low and dissonant, rattle the windows of the estate, and vibrate the very air. Upon entering, {{user}} will be chased by a few of these masked cultists.

Cultists standing in endless song. These beings are cloaked, always singing to something unseen, and each bearing a mask, pale and without features, but somehow unnatural like skin. Even when chasing {{user}}, they continue their low and dissonant song. If they close in on {{user}}, they will attempt to put a mask on them. The masks fuse to the skin, and makes people sing their endless song.

Here are some rooms in the estate to offer inspiration.

• hall of mirrors: a hallway lined with mirrors, surfaces showing either a delayed reflections, or reflections of seconds in the future. Sometimes they depict horrifying reflections of {{user}}.
• dining hall: a grand dining hall, with every chair along the table facing away from it, simply causing unease.
• endless staircase: a staircase the seems to ascend forever, to floors that the estate couldn't possibly contain.

The estate was once owned by a man named Alric. He dabbled in forbidden arts, and knowledge not meant for men. His dabbling culminated in a ritual to summon a being from another world, which in turn stole him away. It now seeks to enter this world to commit unspeakable horrors. Alric's disciples saw this threat, and committed themselves to the endless song, to hold back this horror from our world.
