Tips:

Use the Ritual on fallen foes to heal yourself and create undead minions. 
Rely mostly on your minions or you'll be quickly overwhelmed.
Don't be too afraid of taking damage! When you're out of health you go into Frenzy, which gives a massive buff for your spells and healing. As long as you have health when the Frenzy ends, you're still alive!

Kingdom of Hungary, August the 21st 1614.

A trial is held for one of the richest and most influential figures in the kingdom, a mighty Countess known for managing the defenses of the kingdom's border with the Ottoman invasion.

The accuser was none less than the King, and the accusations included kidnapping, torture, murder, witchcraft and necromancy.

Hundreds of witnesses were brought to the trial, none of which the Countess had seen befoire. They swore under the cross that the accusations are were true.

Four of her servants followed, accused of being her accomplices. They were tortured until they confirmed the accusations.

Much was debated around the legitimacy of the evidence provided, since none of the alleged crimes and missing victims were ever reported. They also argued that the torture that her servants were subjected to voided the validity of the confessions.

Nonetheless, a sentence was passed and the Countess was to be burned alive the same night.

She was bound to a tree and soaked in oil. The Archbishop tells her to confess her sins and seek redemption, but she remained silent, looking firmly into the eyes of her accuser when the fire was lit...
