Lesser Chortbeck

In the tiny village of Lesser Chortbeck, every house must obey one unusual architectural rule.  When a family member dies, their remains are walled up within their chamber. New additions are built onto the home to accommodate their remaining living relatives. Every house in the village thus grows ever taller and more unstable.

This is the story of two households that remain in Lesser Chortbeck, over the generations, and the unusual beliefs and peculiar activities of their family members.
