The Village of the Day Before


“Seven centuries ago, this valley was home to Kato the Curious, a sorcerer who served Emperor Eledain but betrayed his liege. Kato’s tower and the nearby village of Blackridge, in the far northeast, perished in dragon fire when his treachery was discovered. Now he’s said to haunt the ruins of his tower, which supposedly holds all kinds of treasures. But no one who tried to loot the ruins has ever returned.”

In a valley between two hills, the road is blocked by a barricade that seems to be a mixture of orc palisades, dwarven structures, elven ironwork, thorny hedges of the kind grown by halflings, and other things of indeterminate origin. Texts in unknown languages have been painted on the various parts of the barricade.
