On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And through the field the road runs by
To heavy-glittered Fork;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round a manor there below,
The manor of Lisport.
Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the manor off the river
Flowing up to Fork.
Four grey walls, and two grey towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent town imbowers
The Lady of Lisport.

- How to Use This Adventure
- Read the quick overview first, to get an idea of the ghost story. Read (or re-read) the main inspirational media and a few of the secondary ones if you have them just to get a feel for the tone.
- Background
- Lisport was the home of the Earl of Lisport, but most of the family died during the Goblin wars. It was a foul murder, made all the worse not just because the murdered Earl, Colonel Elroy Courlander, was one of the West’s most brilliant military leaders during the Goblin wars but also because it was perpetrated by one of the Earl’s daughters.

- House of Lisport: Lisport
- Long ago, Elisabeth Port was little more than a dock where horses could rest and feed while dragging boats upriver, a small way station between Fork and Black Stag. By 1500 AD, however, the riverboat culture was calling it Lisport, and the name took. When Abraham Courlander moved from Fork to Lisport in 1752, he chose to use the port’s name for his manor. As the Courlander family rose to power, the manor became the town.
- Lisport Manor
- As you step into the wide alcove between the north and south wings of the empty building, you see that small parts of the masonry have begun to fall. A stone gargoyle, one of its wings broken beside it, stares up at you from the left side of the path. From the grass around it, the gargoyle has been there many years.

- House of Lisport: Props
- You can, as always, make these props look a lot cooler by soaking them in hot tea and drying them to give them an aged look.
- Meril Alegar III
- You can use Meril as a character if you need an extra. Whoever plays Meril will need to be aware of their weakness compared to the other characters. He’ll be more appropriate for experienced players because of this.
