Delenas Institute of Paranormal Studies
Institute Blvd., 1
66601 Phantasma, Timoris
It should be known that while the institute is located actually inside the Region of Timoris,
it is just across the border. The Delenas Institute of Paranormal Studies does not encourage travel further into
the region, as even our location on the border is considered unsafe by most. Further, this institute is the only entity
of modern existence in any part of the region.
The Name
The very name of this region, Timoris, is a Latin word translated
as meaning "invoking fear." The origins of the name come from the early 1300's, given due to mysterious happenings encountered
in the area. Although the name did not carry much value or substance at the time, it was an eerie prediction of the atrocities
yet to come.
A Fair Warning
Please be warned, that no one except highly trained professionals at
IDEP (Delenas Institute of Paranormal Studies) should enter Timoris. The Institute is located in the very outer area of the
region, as travel further in is usually considered extremely unsafe. Only a few brave scientists have ventured to
the region's capitol city, Antrum, to bring back photographs of what no one else dares to see. Some have lost their lives
doing it. Most of the images existing of Timoris are presented to you here. Please keep in mind you are about to view images
of a desolate and avoided place of great death, and paranormal activity due
to these deaths. Some images may be disturbing, the ones most so are near the bottom.
THE HISTORY
In the year MCCCXLVII (1347 A.D.) the town of Antrum,
Timoris was a flourishing city. Antrum was one of Delenas’ major cities, acting an important port city for international
imports and exports. Life was good, as Delenas was one of the most advanced countries of the time thanks to its close ties
with Europe. On December 10th of 1347, now with the serious threat of the Black
Plague spreading to Delenas through trade with Europe, Count Lucian gained control of the Territory of Timoris. The economy of the territory
remained strong during his reign, however in 1349 the unspeakable happened. The Black Plague arrived in Delenas aboard a trade
ship from England on June 4, 1349. Count
Lucian personally greeted the ship as it came into the harbour of Antrum, as an important official from England
was on board. The ship waited in the harbour overnight, and began unloading cargo the next day, unleashing the Black Death.
Because he was the first citizen of Timoris to be exposed to the disease, he was the first one to show symptoms. Thinking
that this was an isolated case, the people took charge and banished Count Lucian to a castle on the nearby baron Devintry Island on
June 6, 1349. Unable to escape, his health began a rapid downward spiral. In Timoris, the disease began to wreak havoc on
the citizens, starting in Antrum and spreading throughout the region from there. Word quickly spread to Delenas’ capitol
city of the outbreak of the Black Death in Antrum. As a perhaps over reactive precautionary measure to stop the spread of
the plague, the government constructed a heavy wall around the entire region, and set up a naval barrier to ensure nothing
entered or exited through the maritime borders. The entire region became entrapped, people left to die without any sort of
outside aid whatsoever. In 1351 when the news of the Black Death epidemic ending in Europe
reached Delenas, the government made the decision to take down the walls surrounding Timoris. As a team of doctors escorted by the
King’s Army proceeded into the region for the first time in two years, it took them until reaching the outskirts of
Antrum to realize the magnitude of the disaster that occurred.

As they walked through the uninhabited countryside of Timoris, they expected
upon arrival in Antrum to find a city of people healthy once again, living off of the resources that were available within
the region. Instead, they found a metropolis of death, that not one living soul was able to escape
from. Bodies lay everywhere, in the streets, in carriages attached to the dead bodies of horses, slumped over dining tables,
and every other place imaginable. Men, women, and children. An eerie, out of place silence surrounded the once great city
of Antrum
as the recovery team left the city to report the tragedy. When a team was sent to search for Count Lucian on Devintry Island, neither he nor his remains
were ever found.
The cleanup of Antrum and Timoris in 1351 went without paranormal incident
despite the enormous amount of tragic death that occurred in the area. There were, however, an outstanding number of reports
from townspeople living on the mainland within sight of Count Lucius’ island between the years of 1349 and 1351 of a
black, bat-like, human-sized creature taking flight from the castle heading towards Timoris.
The city of Antrum
and the Timoris region were avoided, left much abandoned throughout the following 250 years, only the fearless daring to take
up residence in the area. However in the year 1604 after Delenas had once again been flourishing for many years during the
age of the Renaissance, Timoris was once again inhabited, and Antrum once again became a thriving city. Starting around the
year 1610, reports started to surface from the townspeople and upper class alike, of strange occurrences in their homes and
shops, as well as continued sightings of the bat creature. Items would disappear or be moved without explanation, voices and
screams originating from nowhere were heard. Even though these reports continued throughout the next 250 years, anyone who
reported such an incident risked being thought mentally insane and thrown into the Timoris Asylum as many people mistakenly
were in this time period. Timoris continued to be successful, many castles were built in the region, and tiny villages started
in the 14th century were expanded upon. Life in Timoris was once again good, aside from the occasional paranormal
activity and curiously cloudy weather most of the time. This all changed once again on June 6, 1849, exactly the 500th
anniversary of the day Count Lucian was banished to the island castle. On the night of June 7, the citizens of the region
went to bed as normal, thinking of their plans for the next day; where they needed to go, who they needed to see. As the sun
began to rise, the entire region remained silent. Not one person in Timoris awoke that morning. An investigation team was
sent into the region to find an explanation for such an unfathomable event, however when they did not return, all investigation
and rescue attempts were called off. The region of Timoris was deemed simply too dangerous to enter, for an unknown reason.
As technology developed, tests were done on air, soil, and water samples carefully collected from the region by scientists
travelling by means of air transportation. No one was willing to take the risk of entering Timoris without a very rapid escape
available, as the only explanation for what happened, to this day, is a supernatural occurrence since absolutely no other
scientific proof or explanation exists for such widespread yet exactly located death. No one outside the border, where the
14th century wall once stood, was harmed. It is very popular among the more brave travellers to walk across the
bridge entering the region of Timoris (pictured near the bottom of this page), just crossing the border to say that
they have been there, and to hear the ambient voices and/or screams that will almost certainly fill the air as soon as the
border is crossed. The Republic of Delenas
strongly discourages anyone from doing so. The Region of Timoris is known to be the most active paranormal area on the planet.
