The Stag King Comes
& with him his Wolves Three
The people of Iron Gate are disappearing.
Find them in the Gloamwood.
Locations
The Iron Road
Straight and long and heading north from Iron Gate through the Gloamwood to Waterstone. Three carts wide and surrounded by ancient trees.
The Deep Weald
Past bramble and briar, through darkness and fear, you find the ancient trees towering any tower or castle. Here dwells the Stag King and the imprisoned people of Iron Gate.
Bloodtree Grove
Bark white as bone, leaves blackish scarlet, its sap is the crimson of blood and its fruit stinks of corpses. They grow in lines but who would plant such monstrosities?
Balehand's Skull
The skull of a giant yellowed by age and weather, large enough to house a community of Woodwose.
The Green Chapel
Deep in the Wood, the Green Priest intones Psalms to the Morrigan, the goddess of the Gloaming Wood.
