Dracula will be offering up his Medusa souls in order to open a gate in Everglade to Castlevania. Description as follows:
Castlevania:
Built on a cliff and surrounded on three sides by a lake far below the castle, the dread castle of Dracula looms, seemingly constantly silhouetted against the moon. There is only one path into the castle, and framed on both sides by dense forest, where light refuses to linger. Beyond the drawbridge that serves as an entrance, is a courtyard. Vast, open, and desolate. There are a couple of fountains but are falling apart and have run dry long ago, drawing the eye to the entrance of the castle proper. Within the castle itself, one can find many distinct areas. A vast library that takes up several stories with shelf upon shelf of books, a chapel with an uncharacteristic calm and reverence to it, an alchemy laboratory that houses practically any kind of chemical and beaker an alchemist could need, and so on. However, the Castle itself is a part of the soul of its lord, and to mirror that, the layout of the castle is never the same two times in a row.
The castle is home to a plethora of creatures that many would call simple myth. Minotaur, werewolves, harpies, and all manner of ghost, spirit and undead walk the halls, accompanied by the odd abomination or demon.
At the peak of the castle lays the two things that ever remain constant about the chaotic castle. The clock tower, situated at the exact center of the castle, is just that. There are no maintenance ladders or other accommodations, and the only way to scale the tower is to climb among the constantly moving and grinding gears. However, should someone manage the treacherous climb, they will be greeted by a lonely stairway leading up to the throne room. However, for the truly adventurous, beyond the throne they will find a magic circle that once entered will transport them to the castle's twin floating inverted in the clouds overhead.
Within the inverted castle, the traps and denizens are significantly more powerful, and house some of Dracula's most powerful allies and servants.
Enter Castlevania at your own peril. For in the land where light refuses to tread, no man can say what may be lurking around the corner.
[I'm basing this primarily on the castle from Symphony of the Night, and all the enemies - minus Death, Medusa, and the Medusa Heads - are available for NPC interactions, etc. Dracula himself resides in the heart of the inverted castle, where his power is the greatest, and is the hardest to reach by outsiders.]
