Harrowstone's History

The town of Ravengro is well known for it's famous prison, Harrowstone. The townspeople have all learned to be very cautious of outsiders, usually when someone new came to town he was either with a group escorting a new prisoner, or some ne'er do well intent on trying to break someone out of the famous prison. Nearly fifty years ago there was a great fire, which reduced the massive prison to a hulking ruin that sits not far outside the town proper. This is where Ravengro's misfortunes began. Shortly after the fire, reports of strange noises and odd sightings were reported in and around the ruined Prison, in the years that followed many have tried to put the spirits to rest, others just seek to understand what the dead are trying to communicate. My friend and mentor, Professor Petros Lorrimor, was one such academic. His research into the occult is what lead to his eventual murder at the hands of an evil cult, this is where I entered the story.
