A port city wracked with troubles from hags and orcs. The setting of Act I — the party spent most of the campaign here through Session 28 and departed for Greyhaven in Session 29 with no current plans to return.
Geography
A coastal town set against a forest that — until Session 09 — was actively trying to reclaim it. Crumbling manor on the hill, central market square, weather-beaten temple, an empty lighthouse, smithy, and various hovels. Visible decay everywhere.
Notable landmarks
- Empty Net — Old Briar’s tavern, the party’s home base
- The Six Stones — the chained oak in the town square, ringed by six rune-stones
- The Briney Breeze apothecary — Ethel’s shop
- Garric Smith’s smithy
- Lyle’s general store (with a deeply suspicious cellar)
- The temple of Rothos — kept by the Mousey Woman
- The locked warehouse — guarded by Edrin, houses the Hollowed
- The docks where the Harrow’s Wake used to moor
Dungeons
- Brackenford manor — once Lord Alric’s residence; cleared as a five-session dungeon crawl in Sessions 16–21.
