Richten Haus is the childhood home of Dr. Rudolph van Richten which was originally located in Darkon, before becoming an Island of Terror hidden away in the Mists.

It is now, arguably, an oubliette hidden away in the Mists.

Background

Rudolph van Richten enjoyed a happy childhood here. It was abandoned after he struck out against a Vistani caravan that took his son after he was unable to save one of their own, and the caravan was killed by van Richten with the assistance of undead lent to him by Azalin.

The Vistani caravan returned as ghosts who wandered the Mists, eventually coming across the home of van Richten. The tribe's raunie, Madame Radanavich, chose to inhabit the place and became its darklord, and over the years prepared to lure back van Richten for a final showdown.

With the aid of adventurers, van Richten was able to defeat (but not destroy) Radanavich. He chose to stay behind at Richten Haus, in order to keep her spirit contained.

Current Sketch

Richten Haus is still floating around the Mists. It has also become a temporary prison and punishment for the meazel Salizarr.
