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 they were killed by van Richten with the assistance of undead lent to him by Azalin.
The Vistani caravan returned as ghosts who wondered 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.
