The Trothstone
An old path leads north-west into the forest from the western road out of Lankshorn (hex 0710). Those who follow the path about a mile into the tangled wood come upon a pine glade.
Plinth and monoliths: The glade is dominated by a dark stone plinth and a pair of guardian monoliths of ancient construction.
The Trothstone: The plinth is known to locals as the Trothstone, and it is traditionally here that weddings of longhorn nobles take place.
Owl Cave
Those who venture beyond the Trothstone into the deep wood come within the territory of a group of 4 witch owls (DMB) that make their lair in a stalactite-hung cave.
Encrusted statue: At the rear of the cave stands a 5′ high statue of roughly human form, rimed with a sparkling crust of mineral deposits.
Chipping away the statue’s outer coating: Reveals an effigy of Saint Nuncy which was stolen from a neighbouring land some centuries ago and hidden in this cave by its thieves (a band of delinquent friars). It is of great value to the Pluritine Church (5,000gp).
