[QUOTE="Tarau, post: 4451965, member: 69374"] The Arm of Luthes, Dreamwraiths Upstream from West Fork, where the river narrows, lies the region known as the Moorlands. In the middle of the Lawless Hills, a colossal monument stands in memory of a long-lost era. It was known as the Arm of Luthes, from the name given to the Lawgiver by the Imperials. The legend says that the One God himself came down from the heavens to raise a mountain of metal from the earth, which he then melted and shaped in the form of an outstretched arm with an open palm. It was a symbol of peace and fraternity. For centuries, the mountain was used as a base of operations by warrior priests from the various branches of the Church. The hills were slowly settled by humans from all over the empire. However, in the space of a few days, everything changed. The fortress and the nearby villages were all razed. No one was left alive. The Arm itself is now entirely covered in rust and its fist is clenched; it is only a mockery of the wonder it once was. What caused the devastation and this hideous transformation? Scholars do not agree on the subject, but most seem to think that it was due to the actions of the Dreamer. Since the corruption of the Arm of Luthes, numerous creatures of Chaos made it their home. Bandits and gnolls live in its vicinity. The closer you get to the monument, the more brutal they get. Harpies are said to nest at the summit. Few have gone inside and returned to tell the tale. Those who did talk of living shadows and dreamwraiths*. No main doorway exists, but many tunnels are said to lead into the ancient complex. Unfortunately, the tunnels move and thus aren’t on any map. Even to this day, the most fanatical holy orders keep watch over the region. They fight the bandits and humanoids in hope to reclaim the sacred site for the glory of the One God. The soldiers are few in numbers and their expedition is poorly funded, however, seeing as the Lawless Hills don’t have a real strategic importance. Dreamwraith: This insubstantial creature is often mistaken as an undead. The dreamwraiths normally inhabit the world of dreams and the ethereal plane. Some believe they are what’s left of humans who got lost in their sleep, while others think that they spontaneously manifest in heavily populated areas (where the walls between the worlds are thin). They are able to take a semi-physical shape; however, there is always something not quite right about them (either they have no face, they are blurry, etc.) Dreamwraiths are known to feed off dreams and nightmares. After years of feeding, a wraith develops a cunning mind and even a personality of its own. [/QUOTE]
