Revealed in ch.8
The seigneur of the castle, who hosts the feast and tourney, is actually a devil or damned spirit who transforms into a lion-headed monster and vanishes at sunrise.
The seigneur was the lord of a phantom castle that appeared untouched by plague. A stunted, leonine man with a black-toothed grin, he hosted a cruel feast and a deadly night tourney, transforming into a lion-headed devil at dawn before vanishing with his domain.
