The player can ask the Mason for information about the House, but he will give only vague answers in reply. He will, however, reveal that he is the architect of Moonrise Towers, and the player will have the opportunity to tell him the state of his creation and the surrounding shadow-cursed lands.

History

Before the Shadow-Cursed Lands were overcome by Shar's curse, the Infernal Mason was a Selûnite named Morfred. Morfred worked at Reithwin Town's mason guild, under his master the great general Ketheric Thorm.

The town was originally home to many Selûnites, including Ketheric and his family. It was the Mason who was the original architect of Moonrise Towers, a grand symbol of devotion to Selûne, to "reach for the stars and dry [her] tears".

After the death of Ketheric's daughter, he turned to Shar and built up an army of Dark Justiciars. Morfred witnessed Ketheric's descent, growing his army and rooting out every last trace of Selûne in Reithwin. He and his brother Halfred were eventually the last remaining Selûnite leaders in the town, joined by worshippers in secret.

Tired of standing by as Ketheric and his Justiciars overtook the town, Morfred's despair was noticed by Raphael. The devil approached him with an infernal pact, his soul in exchange for the Justiciars complete destruction.

Raphael honoured his deal by sending Yurgir and his merregons, who slaughtered all but one Justiciar. Without his army, and routed by the Harpers, Ketheric released the shadow curse as a final act of desperation. Morfred died some time later and became a debtor, bound to the House of Hope.
