Tserberon Falls
Tserberon Falls was once a vibrant frontier town, home to a bustling trading post and livestock market. It is now enveloped by a roiling red fog teeming with monsters comprised of animate shadow.
• Unbeknownst to the people of Tserberon Falls, one of their fellow townsfolk—a man named Johannes Metrovic—was an occultist conducting baleful experiments with blood magic.
• One dark night, Metrovic’s experiments exceeded his grasp and he unwittingly unleashed a magical red mist that plunged the down into darkness.
• The townsfolk, including Metrovic himself, were warped into ravenous creatures of shadow by the calamitous red fog.
• The crimson mist now spreads in every direction from the “Red Wound of Tserberon Falls.”
• The fog generally moves slowly, creeping across the Vespermark, but has been known to suddenly surge forth to engulf a settlement and consume its residents—transforming all living creatures caught within it into monstrosities.
• The Knights Labyrinthian track the progress of the mist, but they have yet to discover a way to counteract its growth.
Vulture House
Vulture House is an ambulatory manor that walks the Vespermark on enormous bird legs. It settles in one place long enough to lure hapless travelers and “guests” into the perpetual fey masquerade ball that rages inside.
• Vulture House appears to be a luxurious and otherworldly mansion with uncountable rooms, for Vulture House is the site of a luxurious and never-ending masquerade ball presided over by Queen Mab, the fey Lady of Shadows.
• Mab is capricious and cruel, and anyone who breeches one of her ever-shifting rules of decorum or who refuses to wear a mask inside Vulture House will face her wrath.
• Those who are obsequious enough, or who bring the Lady of Shadows a unique gift that catches her fancy, might be granted a wondrous boon—though this boon turns to ash as soon as they lose her favor.
