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.

Before the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]] were overcome by Shar's curse, the Infernal Mason was a Selûnite named Morfred. {{cite text|Mason's Letter|Morfred|name=MasLetter}}{{cite text|Halfred's Note|Halfred}} Morfred worked at [[Reithwin Town|Reithwin Town's]] mason guild, under his master the great general [[Ketheric Thorm]].

The town was originally home to many [[Selûne|Selûnites]], including Ketheric and his family. It was the Mason who was the original architect of Moonrise Towers,{{cite text|name=MasLetter}} a grand symbol of devotion to Selûne, to "reach for the stars and dry [her] tears". {{ref|Mason's dialogue at the House of Hope}}

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}}

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.

The final point of investigation takes the party through a hatch in the Mason's Guild to the basement. All that remains are the shadowed remnants of Morfred's resistance, and his [[Mason's Log|logbook]]. Morfred's log documents Ketheric's downfall, the rise of his army, and Morfred's final attempt to stop him by making a deal with Raphael.
