hi! i dont really post but i recently went on a VIP tour at epic and our super awesome tour guide found out i was really into darkmoor and showed me the cannon lore for it..
( theres literally a whole manual for it its so insane)

- these mole people were digging catacombs for Darkmoor for the vampires to hide away from the sun
- the vampires then constructed a huge castle in the caverns were they then lived, instead of the forest
