In the gnarled woods lies The MacMillan Estate, a once prosperous mining operation. Rusted buildings emit ghostly creaks, standing sentinel in the moonlight. |

Lore[]
The MacMillan Estate in all its former glory. Now an ominous lot with nothing more than horrid memories of brutality in its purest form. The Foundry and Mine were the heart and centre of the estate. Those unlucky enough to be employed by Archie MacMillan slowly started to slip away from all kinds of normal life. Wives asking for their husbands to come home. Archie MacMillan began to obsess. His life was built around and on top of the Mine and Foundry. One day the former workers, now slaves, were not allowed to leave the premises without permission. Fences and goons made sure of it. Objections were rewarded with a visit to the furnace. Questions and rumours arose in town. But no answers. One fewer worker, missed by maybe a poor widow was not enough for real actions.
Finally Archie MacMillan snapped and sealed his workers in the Mine. Suffocating them. Archie MacMillan's remains were later found. A silent skeleton with a taunting grin upon his meat less skull. What is left of the Estate are now but mere ruins and myths. Teens enter the area from time to time in a game of dare, bringing back new information about what is happening at the Estate. Because somehow, it seems like something is happening there. Even though not really understandable to the simple, human eye and mind.
Original Lore[]
This piece of Lore was used before a Lore update in Year 3. It put Evan MacMillan as the operator, rather than his father, in the updated Lore.
The MacMillan Estate was once the envy of even the most well pampered families. Now, it's only an ominous lot with nothing more than horrid memories of mercilessness in its purest form. The Foundry and Mine were the heart and centre of the estate. Those unlucky enough to be employed by Evan MacMillan after he assumed his father's work slowly started to slip away from all kinds of normal life. Wives asking for their husbands to come home. Work hours got longer, sometimes bridging day-to-day and pay was ever decreasing. Evan's iron hand and strict rules got tighter the longer he was in control. One afternoon, a large mining force was forbidden to leave and instructed to meet inside one of the deepest and unstable mine shafts instead. Objections were rewarded with a visit to the furnace. Questions and rumours arose in town. But no answers. One less worker, missed by maybe a poor widow wasn't enough for real actions.
Finally, Evan MacMillan had snapped and had sealed his workers in the mine, suffocating those who weren't crushed by the initial blast of explosives. Archie MacMillan's remains were later found. A silent skeleton with a taunting man-made grin upon his meatless skull. What's left of the Estate are now but mere ruins and myths. Teens enter the area from time to time in a game of dare, bringing back new information about what's happening at the Estate. Because somehow, things are moving. Leftover machinery keeps starting up. The gas gauge on the generator keeps decreasing.
