Note titled 'Theatre of Souls (Requiem, Sun Mar 28 12:32:51 2004):
The fifty-third Marquis of the House of Bathory has reopened his ancient theatre in Barovia and welcomes the public to view the finest ballet in the land.

This area is recommended for levels 45 and above.

Requiem

1. To get inside the theatre, travel <search niche, unlock door, open door>.
2. Travel <e, stairs, ne, nw, kill figure>

   57k : a shadowy cowled figure

3. <get gem>
4. <se, sw, stairs, w, 2n, climb stage, speak etemmu>

   As you recite the word of deliverance the gem starts to crack and shatter. Blinding light shines forth from tiny fissures in the spiritstone. With a resounding blast the gem explodes into thousands of tiny shards.
   
   As ethereal shapes whirl through the air rejoicing in their newfound liberation Katherina and Johann turn to you. She curtseys and flashes you a warm, thankful smile while he bows deeply in wordless gratitude. The lovers turn to each other and kiss for one final time as they fade into sweet oblivion.
   
   A beautiful voice whispers 'Thank You' in the back of your mind and you notice something new on the floor.

5. <get manteau>

   Manteau of the Aether
   This loose fitting cloak is made of a seemingly flimsy lightweight material that ripples as the slightest breeze touches it. The most striking characteristic is that it feels supernatural, as if it was not meant for this living world. As you look upon the manteau with awe you sense a gentle presence whisper soothing words in the recesses of your mind.
   This item is legendary and you cannot possess more than one.
   The cloak is in perfect condition.
   It has a magical glow about it.
   This armor has the following resistances:
   16 mind, 16 energy, 16 radiation
   You must be level 10 to wear this.
   It looks light.

A journal can be found within this area (visit the library page for more journals and books found around 3 Kingdoms).

<open journal>
The binding of the ancient journal creaks as you open it.
<read journal>

My love grows with each passing day. Katherina dances like an angel and is twice as beautiful. I dare to hope that she might feel the same for me. Our performance tonight received a standing ovation and as we danced I knew that we were meant for each other.

The theatre is gaining in popularity. People are coming from miles around to watch us dance, they say we have sublime chemistry. Despite our success the Marquis does not seem happy, he has become quieter and more reclusive. When he is not watching us perform he spends hours in his private box poring over ancient texts.

You turn to page 3 of the journal.
<read journal>

My love and I are living a fantasy. We dance for rapturous crowds and then fall asleep in each others arms. My only concern is the health of our patron, the Marquis. He seems gaunt and haggard as if he has not slept for days.

The Marquis told us today that we are no longer allowed to see each other except when we are performing or rehearsing. I must sleep in the men's dressing room and she in the ladies. We don't know what is happening but the Marquis seems increasingly volatile.

You turn to page 5 of the journal.
<read journal>

We discovered a passageway between the two dressing rooms and have been seeing each other in secret. The Marquis is acting very strangely and we fear that he might become violent if he found out about us.

Today the Marquis summoned my darling Katherina to his private box on the balcony. When she returned she was inconsolable and refused to speak of what happened. Tomorrow I will find out what is going on.

You turn to page 7 of the journal.
<read journal>

I went to his private box at nightfall. Strange shapes moved in the darkness of the hall but I managed to reach him. I don't know what he looks like now as he obscures his appearance with a cowled cloak but I am convinced that he must be even more cadaverous than he was previously. Before he noticed me enter I managed to catch him stroking a strange looking gem and muttering something about eternal control. As soon as my presence became evident he flew into a rage and hurled me with superhuman strength from the balcony onto the stage.

You turn to page 8 of the journal.
<read journal>

Due to some divine fortune I was not seriously injured by my fall. Before he managed to throw me from his box I managed to catch a brief glimpse of one of his tomes taken from the south wall. The open page referred to the power of a spiritstone and how it could be used to ensnare the recently deceased into an eternal ethereal state.

I believe he intends to kill us all so that he can have in undeath what he he could never have in life - my darling Katherina.

You turn to page 9 of the journal.
<read journal>

She is gone! I have searched everywhere for her but I believe he took her away in the night. I curse myself for not being able to stop him. I hear footsteps in the backstage hall, perhaps he has come for me. Death approaches, but I will not go gently.

You are at the end of the journal.

Purchase a fishing rod from the store and travel over to the jetty (<s, 2w, 2n> from store) and <fish in river>. It may take a few tries before you catch anything.

Once you've killed the troll boss though, the entire area will attack you on sight (this includes the bartender and shopkeeper).
