The Zieme Family Estate was born in the early days of Marlowe Heights' colonization, when the planet's native Verokhanian species were still wary of human presence. The land was chosen for its natural defenses and proximity to the Felo system, making it an ideal location for a strategic stronghold. Santiago's Aunt, Madame Ziemie, a cunning and ambitious woman, saw the potential in this remote location and established the estate as the seat of her criminal empire.
As the estate grew, so did the rumors of the Zieme family's ruthless tactics and corruption. The isolation of the estate made it the perfect place for Madame Ziemie to orchestrate her illegal activities, further solidifying her reputation as a mastermind behind the curtain.
In 2175, a group of thieves infiltrated the estate, pulling off the daring "Great Heist" that would go down in history. Valuable artifacts from the family's collection were stolen, and the Zieme family was left reeling. This event marked a turning point for the estate, as rumors began to spread about its cursed reputation.
As time passed, the Zieme Family Estate's power and influence waned. The once-majestic halls fell into disrepair, and the sounds of scavengers and treasure hunters seeking hidden riches filled the air. The mysterious curse whispered among the inhabitants of Marlowe Heights seemed to take hold, as if the estate itself was cursed to repeat its ancestors' mistakes.
Today, the Zieme Family Estate stands as a crumbling ruin, a shadow of its former self. The whispers of the curse continue to spread, warning would-be visitors of the perils that lie within. Those who dare to enter the estate's gates do so at their own risk, forever trapped in the cycle of greed and corruption that has haunted the Zieme family for generations.
