==Story==
According to legend, the Countess committed a great many gruesome and heinous acts in her castle, including bathing in the blood of a hundred virgins, before being buried alive. It is likely the idea for the Countess was inspired by the real historical figure, Elizabeth Báthory, often known as "Lady Dracula." Though some historians dispute the claim, she reputedly bathed in virgin blood, in the belief that it would grant extended life.
The quest is not explicitly unconnected to the other events in Act I. The Countess, despite being represented as a Dark Stalker ([[Corrupted Rogue]] subtype), has a infamous reputation that likely predates [[Andariel]]'s corruption of the Sightless Eye. However, Akara has hinted that some of her Rogues explored the tower but never returned, so it may be presumed that the Countess may have counted many Sisters of the Sightless Eye among her numerous victims.
