[[folder: Ghosts of Vitharn]]
Once, Vitharn was a thriving city in Dementia. Its founder, Lord Vitharn, sought to overthrow Sheogorath, but that's not really odd by Shivering Isles standards. But cracks began to show under his grandson Cesrian, when Cesrian took a Heretic from Mania, Jideen, as his wife, which pissed off the Fanatics who were his vassals. Under Cesrian's cowardly son Cirion, the vassal fanatics revolted and sacked the keep. For the treachery of the vassals and the incompetence of the defenders, Sheogorath cursed both sides to re-enact their final moments as ghosts.
------
* BastardBastard: Cesrian was born of an incestuous affair between Csaran and his sister.
* CompanionCube: Desideratus Annius has his ragdoll "betrothed." He was so concerned with protecting the doll that he prioritized it over remaining at his post, resulting in his death. He'll only stay at his post if the doll is destroyed (in which case he crosses the DespairEventHorizon and decides to fight the fanatics until he dies) or given to the fanatics (in which case he'll fight the fanatics to save it).
-->'''Desideratus Annius's Tombstone''': Desideratus Annius lies here, coward and deviant.
-->'''"Betrothed's" Tombstone''': Beloved of Desideratus Annius, ragdoll to most.
* DirtyCoward: Why Cirion was cursed; he was unable to control his vassals and fled into the keep instead of standing fast against the fanatics.
* FreudianExcuse:
** Cirion's cowardice is at least in part due to his father Cesrian abusing him.
** Desideratus Annius's is obsessed with his "betrothed" (a doll) because it's his replacement for his family, who were murdered by lunatics.
* GoAmongMadPeople: Csaran's wife Sheen-In-Glade was sane and a good countess, but her husband's constant cheating drove her insane anyway.
* HandicappedBadass: Subverted with Hloval Dreth, who was born with stunted Magicka but became a mage anyway. While he certainly ''thinks'' he's a badass, the result is that he's a two-bit mage who keeps running out of magicka and has to steal more from others. Giving him a magicka refill allows him to fulfil his duty.
* HatedByAll: The defenders are naturally quite pissed at Bat for refusing to let them have proper weapons.
* OnlySaneMan: Althel, the archer, was the only defender who actually tried to do her job properly and only failed because the blacksmith refused to give her arrows to defend herself with. Her grave is thus the only one that has a respectful message instead of an insult.
-->'''Althel's Tombstone''': Rest in peace, Althel. You were valiant to the end.
* OppositesAttract: Jideen "could not be any more [Cesrian's] opposite," but there's nothing suggesting their marriage was unhappy.
* ReplacementGoldfish: Desideratus's "betrothed" is his replacement for his dead family.
* RoyallyScrewedUp: The Vitharn line. The original Count Vitharn plotted to overthrow Sheogorath, his son Csaran [[ReallyGetsAround really got around]], including with his biological sister, which led to his son Cesrian being born deformed, Cesrian aside from being deformed was sadistic, and Cirion was a coward.
* SkewedPriorities: Blacksmith Bat gro-Orkul prioritized keeping his weapons in pristine condition over actually letting anyone ''use'' them, which resulted in Althel's death as he wouldn't let her have arrows. He won't give them to you either, so you'll have to steal him.
-->'''Bat gro-Orkol's Tombstone''': Bat gro-Urkul [sic] was a miser. Upon his head lies a measure of the blame for Vitharn's fall.
* SmugSnake: Hloval Dreth. He even offered to betray the keep to the fanatics, but they rejected his offer and invaded anyway.
-->'''Hloval Dreth's Tombstone''': Power mad to the end, Hloval Dreth met his end in shame.
* UnfinishedBusiness: The Keep's defenders were unable to properly defend their home; if they ''do'', with the player's help, they can move on.

It's up to interpretation, but he refuses to rush his guards into the portal as it deprives them of his walls' defenses and he has no intel of the other side.
