Geography

Here you'll find links to all the locations and maps relevant to this game.

Location: The Scab.

• The Scab is nearby the Culverwood and the Red Hills.
• In the southern foothills of the Scab is a Sanitarium: Up in the mountains, a mental asylum used to exist until recent years. Great evil was done there. Some former patients of this institution live with a druid/ranger nearby in the Valley of Four Peaks, a range visible from near Crescent Valley. He now treats the insane with nature, teaching them to feed and care for each other. The druid's name is Graeff. He comes to Humble's Ford on a regular basis to trade for medicine from an alchemist named Leyman.

History

Here you'll find links to all the events and history relevant to this game.

The Elderly dwarven woman speaks, "Alruc Brighthammer originally united the early colonizing clans of the Scab nearly 200 years ago. Before his efforts, Dwarves simply existed in reclusive family clans, but he called a great meeting of the 9 most powerful clans where an alliance was forged. I can only recall two at the moment: The most savage dwarves of the lands, Clan BloodAxe. And the Stonebeard clan, masons and crafters of the fabled Great Halls."

Then Baenor speaks up as he sheathes his stolen greatsword, "100 years later, greed spread rampant amongst the clans. The outward threats of giants, orcs, duergar, and other monstrous races combined with the Dwarven tendency to hole up in their mountains led to lack of communication. No communication amongst the clans led to mistrust. Mistrust led to war and infighting. Since then, many dwarven clans broke free from under the banner of one of the original 9 clans. They settled in RiddlePort... what was RiddlePort"

It is unknown how many dwarves survive in The Scab to date. The Five Sisters mountain range may just be a large grave for your race.
