In diablo II: Resurrected While exploring the Stony Field, we happen upon a curiosity… A moldy tome lies in the center of the ruins of a long forgotten tower…we cannot help but peruse its putrid pages

"And so it came to pass that the Countess, who once bathed in the rejuvenating blood of a hundred virgins, was buried alive... And her castle in which so many cruel deeds took place fell rapidly into ruin. Rising over the buried dungeons in that god-forsaken wilderness, a solitary tower, like some monument to Evil, is all that remains."

— Writings on the Countess

A bloody countess? Surely the rogues would know more of this fiend which the book locates in the Black Marsh. Tucking the tomes under arm, we portal back to town in which Cain the Horadric Scholar explains

Town:
Cain
"That tower marks a place of danger. There is an epic poem about it... How much sorrow one can stand was tested there."

Any poem with 100 virgins sacrificed is indeed epic… but not the blood magic we learned in the necropolis. We then seek the wisdom of the witch akara who warns

Akara
"The dangers there are not solely architectural. Once inside that wretched place, many succumb to a vile miasma."

Miasma? Something tells us with enough blood, this Countess is perhaps a drain on even the very foundations of reality. Kashya the battlemaster then reveals

Kashya
"The tome speaks of treasure. Yet, all we have found are death, delirium, and disappointment."

Ahhh treasure, with a lack of virgins, the countess must need a new bait to lure in fresh victims to indulge her blood lust. Charsi the Blacksmith then remembers
Charsi
"That old tower is as rotten on the inside as it appears on the outside. I heard that several Sisters came to a gruesome end when a stairwell collapsed on them."

A stairwell? So the rogues have unsuccessfully sent scouts… No doubt more bodies to fill out this countess’ ranks. Gheed the greedy merchant shows surprising insight

Gheed
"The only wealth you're likely to find there is a wealth of vermin."

I guess Gheed is filthy all the virgins are gone. Warriv the caravan master then apprises

Warriv
"Rumors of treasure are no different from rumors of any other kind. They hold false promise to those who should know better."

And yet, although we do KNOW better, we still feel compelled to learn of this Countess’s practice of dark blood magic.
