Summary
This episode carries content warnings for insect infestation, brief descriptions of eye trauma, general body horror, and blood.
Roseroot Hall revolts. All the dye and resin and wool have come undone, dripping down the walls, unfurling across the floor. And unfortunately for the Blackwick Group, they have no intention of staying there. If Es, Duval, and Lye Lychen are going to solve the mystery of this abode, they must first ensure that they, themselves, do not come undone.
This week on Sangfielle: The Secret of Roseroot Hall Pt. 3
The Almanac of the Heartland Rider
Places
Roseroot Hall: Now in the northern hills of Blackwick County, Roseroot Hall once stood mighty and imperious as a plantation house in the eastern half of the Heartland. Though the yon Vantzon-Estonbergh held it once, it fell into disrepair sometime after the panic. Details have been lost to time.
Facts and Figures
Aterika'Kaal aka "Roseroot" aka "Rose Shade": An ambivalent and ancient spirit. Offers the sweet smell and sublime beauty of roses and the sturdy foundation of a root structure. In exchange: Feed it.
Genburi (he/him): What's there to be said about that old rat that people don't already know? A divine professor, taller than most, with an eye as much for provocative fashion as book learning. Wears a lot of purple. Knows a bunch of languages. Not much else to say.
Dayward yon Vantzon-Estonbergh aka Dayward YVE (he/him): The moneyed scion of a minor Aldominan dynasty, Dayward YVE has traveled to the Heartland as both eager-apologist and curious explorer. Sensing opportunity, he's settled in Blackwick County.
Ana Berylia (she/her): Dayward YVE's maid, a somewhat overwhelmed Carpana who has not adjusted to life in the Heartland. Her body is covered in brown/black hair with little streaks of grey at her temples. Mostly seen in uniform, a grey dress with white apron.
Mr. Kenson (he/him): Big Horn Ram Kaprak. White fur with brown and black spots. Personal valet. Copper wireframe glasses. Proper black suit.
Dyre Ode (he/they): When an agent of the almanac pressed this mysterious, masked figure for more information about him, they only repeated their name, as if to ensure we'd print it right, adding "Dyre with Y but Ode as you'd like, a poem said in praise or a debt gone unpaid. It bothers me little, how you spell that name."

| 0:00.0 | Song Fiel is a series that draws on elements of dark fantasy, horror, and gothic fiction. |
| 0:05.6 | As such, a list of content warnings will always be made available in the episode description. |
| 0:10.8 | I'll get right to the point. I am convinced that this home is haunted and we need to drive |
| 0:16.8 | whatever foul being has taken up residence, that with your expertise and knowledge you can |
| 0:23.6 | help me banish whatever it is that occurs in this place. He shows you the records, |
| 0:31.6 | the village associated with it had a dramatic decrease in population and you know when I say a drop |
| 0:38.2 | I'm saying I get a small village where I were talking about hundreds of people at most but like |
| 0:42.8 | seeing that dropped by half is a big drop. You find in business records, you're piecing this together. |
| 0:51.8 | The contract is between what at this point you've understood is something called Rose Root. |
| 0:58.7 | Rose Root is a translation of whatever the name of this spirit or whatever it is and is now bound |
| 1:06.0 | to this house and is this house and is in fact what I think you put this together is made from the |
| 1:15.0 | body of whatever this spirit first inhabited which you would guess is some sort of big tree or a |
| 1:22.4 | grove, some sort of cursed grove that was chopped down and turned into this place. The contract's |
| 1:28.5 | terms effectively are that the house will serve the master of the house and it will do the thing |
| 1:37.6 | you kind of predicted it will do which is it will change itself to reflect the needs and desires |
| 1:44.8 | of whoever the master is. The other half of the contract is that it gets fed and the kind of |
| 1:51.2 | terrible thing that you kind of piece together is not just that it was fed the people of the town |
| 1:58.6 | and plantation all those years ago. Written into the contractual language is a bunch of stuff around |
| 2:03.7 | like remember just because they worshipped you for many generations doesn't mean you have any |
| 2:08.2 | loyalty to them. Rose Root the being used to be their god and took this fucking deal from |
| 2:14.6 | they were an ice cream. For a second the living let live with the cursed thing was looking okay |
| 2:19.5 | by and so yeah the doors all locked at this point and the cup that was overrunning with water |
