Dunwall Diaries

"Like the ore he mines, there is something of value underneath that gruff exterior." Time itself is shattered at Aramis Stilton's mansion, and so is the owner's mind. Having solved the Jindosh lock that seals the way to the Karnacan silver baron's residence, he can be found inside, playing the piano tunelessly and raving to himself. The place itself is in disrepair, unlit and unkempt, no staff or guards, overgrown with Bloodfly infestations and mould. We will now get a chance to see who Stilton really is, and what's more to understand how Delilah has returned, in another well-known level that will change how the player interacts with the world completely. In 1849 Duke Luca Abele and Breanna Ashworth, having heard Delilah whisper to them of her return, planned a seance to bring her back from the Void. They were joined by Alexandria Hypatia in her Grim Alex alter-ego as well as Kirin Jindosh, and held it at Aramis Stilton's manor who they involved because of...

"And what are the cups at Dunwall Tower made from, Empress?" Anton Sokolov doesn't mince words with Emily or her father and Royal Protector regarding the Empire's complicity in what has befallen the Batista Mining District, stating that the "new Duke's misery has only been possible with Dunwall's support". This region has been the engine of Serkonan prosperity, but the avarice of Luca Abele means that the silver mines now work round the clock. The town and its population get no respite from the dust that gets blown through the area, and doctors' notebooks and citizens' journals found in Batista attest to the lethal toll it extracts from the workers. The silver baron Aramis Stilton helped build Karnaca, but this is a walk through the centre of its silver mining industry without his direct influence felt any more. With only the profit-driven machinery of the mining business itself remaining, stripped of Stilton's management and his co...

"Just before her mother and father married her off, so many years ago, she found Delilah instead.  It was all highways and graveyards after that, never looking back." Corvo or Emily awake on board the Dreadful Wale to another trip to the Void, this time arranged by Delilah rather than the Outsider in a demonstration of her power. She shows them her childhood. A child of a kitchen maid and the vaunted but philandering Emperor Euhorn Jacob Kaldwin, she grew distraught at her younger sister Jessamine's inclusion at court while she was hidden away. Here we see the sad, cruel upbringing that embittered Delilah against her half-sister and caused her to be obsessed with surpassing her. Blamed for something that Jessamine had broken when they were children, she was thrown out with her mother. They lived in a debtors' prison until her mother's death. Delilah is not just a fairy tail villain to scare Gristolian children along with the Outsider. She is an embodiment...
