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.

After the death of Ketheric's daughter, he turned to Shar and built up an army of [[Dark Justiciar]]s. 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. {{cite text|Mason's Log|Morfred|name=log}}

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.<ref>"I sought out the devil Raphael and signed an infernal pact with him.

Raphael honoured his deal by sending [[Yurgir]] and his merregons, who [[Break Yurgir's Contract|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.
