"I will show you a candy castle A world without envy or struggles Just believe me I can't lie..."
It sprung up without warning one day, deep in the woods. No one knew what to make of it. The obvious conclusion was that fey were involved, but there wasn't any hard evidence.
It is a candy castle, complete with a pastry-and-cracker village and villagers made of the sweet and savory. Salt licorice skies hang above the edible estate, a reminder of the pleasant wrongness of this place. The people are friendly, if curious, toward outsiders, and encourage visitors to meet with the Viscount, who lives within his castle. No mortal has ever returned from the castle... at least, not while remaining mortal.
They claim a menagerie of delicious monsters lie in wait inside, equipped with all the gut-ripping tools they need to secure their meals. Even worse, the manor is filled with traps, ranging from suspended fondue pots to crumbling waybread floor tiles that lead to pits filled with giant toothpicks. Or course, most of these are far out of the way so that the staff doesn't get hurt, but still...
Worst of all are the meals, they say, so delicious that you'll have a hard time even wanting to leave in the first place. Some suspect that many of the monsters are former adventurers that made a deal with the Viscount so that they never have to stop eating. Combine these delectable banquets with the size of the castle, and it is very easy to lose your way in this demented manor.
Will you trudge through the falling shaved ice under that salt-licorice night sky, or will you sit there, and never find out what lies inside?
The choice is yours. I know where I'm going.

Have fun RPing!
Start:
You have finally arrived at the snack village. Cracker-, cookie-, pastry-, cake-, and bread-based houses jut out everywhere, as if a god of food scattered its toys across the ground. Sardines and cotton candy fluffs and gingerbread men and gummy bears and jello salads walk here and there, bustling about in the cold of the afternoon as the sky fades from rainbow sherbet to salt licorice gelato.
Now is the time to prepare yourself for whatever horrors wait inside. The people here are friendly and helpful so long as you do not show yourself to be a threat to them. Perhaps you need more suitable weapons to deal with the horrors inside. Perhaps you feel you are strong enough. Either way, the guards will open the gates for you when you feel you are ready.
Town Areas:
Candy Cane Mill - saws buzz all the time to cut through the nucrose candy. The mill never stops producing its minty timber.
Rock Candy Smith - St. Honoratus' Hope is a small smith shop where you can get candy weapons and armor, and for free at that. All the owner asks is that you bring him back something from the castle as a snack.
Soda Brewery - No drinking alcohol exists in this sleepy little town. Instead, everybody drinks soda, often with magical effects mixed. Healing sodas are very common in this town, as are fizzy lifting drinks and air bubble tonics.
Castle Areas:
Entryway - the remains of many adventurers before you - metal armor and weapons - lie scattered across the ground. From here, there is a door on either side and a staircase to the upper floor.
She stands in ankle-deep shaved ice. The food folk wander around, taking notice of her. One of them, a cotton candy kitsune, even approaches her while his family hangs back.
"Welcome to the Cukierek Estate, ma'am! Might I ask what brings you here? It's the food, right?"

"I last saw them a few years ago, but just yesterday I got a letter from them that said they were here, and were in trouble"
"Oh! They must be in the castle, then. The Viscount must've sent the letter for them. You'd best get some nucrose equipment. Regular stuff doesn't work very well against the monsters inside."

"Oh, yeah. The castle is filled with monsters of all sorts, and they don't take kindly to being interrupted from their feasts and naps. Some say that the monsters are actually adventurers that came to the Viscount to ask to be able to live there forever, and the Viscount gave them their wish."
