When Lakrii fed herself to the Blood Rose, her blood was apparently enough to finally fully revive the Countess. She ordered that they flee the Dark Wood before she decided they no longer could. She was defeated, but the Countess was unperturbed, stating that the blood of her servants returned to her upon their deaths, so that even her foes' victories hastened her return. The Countess reappeared to her foe(s) in the Fetid Swamp via some form of magical projection, where she ordered that Vassarici kill them.
Yet even this was not enough to restore the Countess fully, and she ordered the Bloodsworn to hasten their efforts, lest they lose her favor.
The Bloodsworn themselves razed the town of Blackstone to the ground, gathered the blood of every man, woman, and child, and through some kind of ritual, infused their mistress with it. As long as it continued to feed her blood, the Countess would not die. The roots of the Blood Rose ran through the Dark Wood, feeding her with blood spilt within the forest. The Bloodsworn set about collecting blood for her in an effort to restore her to her former glory.
Furthermore, a Worldstone shard came into the Countess's possession, which she wore around her neck. Six years later, the Countess was resurrected by a group of cultists called the Bloodsworn, who served as her followers. The sacrifice I have planned will provide more than enough. Hasten your efforts, lest you lose my favor." The blood of every man, woman, and child in Blackstone runs through your veins." However, she was slain, and they helped themselves to the treasures within. In 1264, a group of adventurers entered the Countess's tower, only to encounter the Countess herself. It is believed that her fortune was divided up among the clergy, but that some of it remained in the tower. It is said that she bathed in the "rejuvinating blood of a hundred virgins", but was buried alive. The Countess once ruled from a castle in the Black Marsh. Rising over the buried dungeons in that god-forsaken wilderness, a solitary tower, like some monument to Evil, is all that remains."
And her castle in which so many cruel deeds took place fell rapidly into ruin. "And so it came to pass that the Countess, who once bathed in the rejuvenating blood of a hundred virgins, was buried alive.
