Preview
In the ruins of the Erca Mansion, the remainder of the Caritat family that lived there has come down to one: Atisun. Standing in front of the mansion, he awaits the player who helps him to figure out his family's past.

Stage 1
» Speak to Atisun.

Dialogue:
 * Atisun: Oh, a human? If I could beg your pardon a moment...could I talk to you about the mansion here?
 * Atisun: It was not always so dilapidated. It once stood tall, a monument to the family of Caritat, who constructed it from the ground up.
 * Atisun: The Caritats were unlike any other. Uncharacteristically selfless and helpful. Their wealth was everyone’s wealth as far as they were concerned.
 * Atisun: But... Eventually... Erm, we’re not entirely sure what happened, only rumours have surfaced over the years, but...things took a turn, shall we say.
 * Atisun: Because, aah...how shall I put this... One day they were all...discovered dead. Murdered. By each other.
 * Atisun: I am the last remaining descendant, Atisun Caritat. I was the only survivor of the... incident. I was only an infant when I was found by a passerby.
 * Atisun: Since, erm...since there was no one alive to report the incident, it wasn't discovered until days later when a traveller passing by took notice of the mansion.
 * Atisun: I do not believe that my family simply went mad, but I do not know what happened. I want to know the truth. I think this mansion still holds the answers I'm looking for.
 * Atisun: Yet, I am...scared of this place. It is the ruins of the life I should have had. The spirits of the dead are still there...cursed. I need someone else to uncover my heritage.
 * Atisun: Don't you worry, like my ancestors, I'm a generous man. If you help me, I will reward you handsomely. All you have to do, is go in there and find answers. I'm sure the past won't haunt us both.

Stage 2
» Enter the Caritat Mansion.

Stage 3
» Learn the story of the Caritat Family.

Dialogue: Talking to various people around the room:
 * Check: This check is made out to a charity for a lot of emeralds.
 * Maid: It's so nice that the Caritats are donating all of these supplies to the struggling people in the forest.
 * Mr. Caritat: ''He seems to be very engrossed in his writing.

Talking to the Maid next to Timmy Caritat:
 * Maid: I've heard about weird things happening around the house. People are saying the mansion might be haunted!
 * Servant: Ghosts? Preposterous! This mansion isn't haunted, don't believe those silly rumors!
 * Timmy: G-g-ghosts?

Talking to the Servant next to Timmy Caritat:
 * Servant: Mister Caritat is always writing in that book, always so intensely. I wonder what he is writing.
 * Timmy: He won't even tell me what he's writing.
 * Maid: I'll bet he's writing insults about us. He can't be as nice as he appears.

Talking to Timmy Caritat (Updates the Quest Book):
 * Timmy: I accidentally dropped my Library Key down the drain, do you think my dad will be angry?
 * Maid: No, Mister Caritat is very forgiving. I doubt he'd be upset, especially if it was an accident.
 * Timmy: I still want to find the key though, do you know where I should look?
 * Servant: Well, the drainage pipes have probably taken the key to the basement in the southeast corner of the mansion by now, that's most likely where it is.

 * Page 1: Today was my first day as the butler for the Caritat family. They gave me quite a warm welcome. I think I'm going to like it here.
 * Page 2: The Caritats are as nice as people say. They're some of the kindest people I've ever met, let alone work for.
 * Page 3: That Timmy boy has been acting rather unusual lately... Uncharacteristically hostile. I wonder what's come over him.
 * Page 4: I've been hearing strange noises at night. Scratching, and sometimes yelling...I do hope nothing bad is going on.
 * Page 5: I don't even know how this happened, but Timmy performed dark magic. He shot a fireball! The north wall of the library was wrecked! (Updates the Quest Book)

Stage 6
» Enter the hole in the wall.

Dialogue:
 * You begin to experience visions of how this charred hole came to be...
 * Mister Caritat: Timmy, is something bothering you? You have been acting so weird lately.
 * Timmy: You cannot command me, mortal! You and all of your inferior species will bow to the darkness!
 * Mister Caritat: I don't know what game you are playing, Timmy. But I will not stand for it any longer, snap out of it!
 * Timmy: You shall pay for your insolence, mortal!
 * Mister Caritat: Dark magic? What foul books have you been reading? And what's that in your hand?
 * Mister Caritat: Casting spells with a black spoon? I'm going to get rid of this foul thing!
 * Timmy: That is an item beyond you, mortal. Give it back to me this instant!
 * What's this spoon doing in the fireplace? Maybe you should bring it back to the Kitchen to find out where it came from.

 * Mr. Caritat: ...Timothy, I'm going to ask you something, and I need you to answer me honestly. Were you...were you responsible for this?
 * Timothy: No, of course not! I overcame that years ago, you know that, I can't believe you still suspect me of-
 * Servant: Ah, sir, we did find something rather unusual in the kitchen that might interest you? Maybe?
 * Mr. Caritat: What- Out with it! What did you find?! Please, please tell me I'm wrong!!
 * Servant: We found this charred-looking black spoon. I've worked here for years, and I've never seen any spoons of this style in the mansion.

 * Atisun: My great grandfather, wanting to prove to everyone that the forest was still good, built his mansion atop the very spot that was acclaimed to be the cause of the Decay.
 * Atisun: My father tried to continue the traditions... but all of it was burned to ashes. I must consider myself lucky that I did not fall with them.
 * Atisun: And what emerged from that spot? Who knows... but, whatever it was... the darkness must have lingered, and drove them all to madness.

Trivia

 * The whole era in the mansion is a memory.
 * This quest was originally very different, the first version involved fighting the player's shadow which was created by a mirror.
 * With the release of 1.20, the quest was changed again. The fight against Atisun's corrupted father was removed, and the lore surrounding the manor was also changed, making it older and tying Lari in with its history.
 * This quest is claimed to be the favorite of Grian, one of the co-founders of Wynncraft.
