In his younger days Eliv was hailed for his brilliant mind and nearly revered for his amazing ability to solve even the most complex of puzzles. That all changed one day when a servant of the proud Kacheek offered a puzzle that simply stumped Thade. He anguished over the conundrum for every waking moment during a span of many years, and as a result his sanity slowly slipped away.

As years passed, the rumour that Eliv Thade had died alone in his castle without ever solving the puzzle that had tormented him for so much of his life persisted. It seems that, although his body is no more, his tortured mind and spirit remain behind. His spectre now haunts the castle, challenging anyone who enters to a dangerous game of wits.
