[QUOTE="Daztur, post: 5823787, member: 55680"] Kids are napping now, I'll try to add in a few locations, then update the map and the compilation before they wake up, it's a race against time! Edit: map updated, the Timberlode has been placed at Hex 13.03 [b]Hex 03.05[/b] The Long Stairs Carved over the long years by neophytes into the very stone of the mountain, a long series of smooth stone steps lead up towards the dwarven monastery. The stairs are splotched badly with dove droppings for many of these sacrificial birds flock around the Long Stairs. Some of them have had their feathers dyed orange in honor of the holy color of the Drinker of Iron so that the monks can judge the auspices by watching the course of their flight among their white brothers. The doves also serve to alert the monks to intruders for they always fly into the air in one vast peeping cloud at the approach of strangers. Hooks: -Can you really predict the future by looking at birds? [b]Hex 01.03[/b] The Giant's Lake Although the nameless storm giant spends much of his days wandering the lowlands to the east, he makes his home in a small isle within the Giant's Lake. Very little rain falls in the secluded mountain valley that houses this lake, so when the weather is dry and the sun hot a thick layer of salt forms over the brine of this ancient lake, which is thick enough to walk on and reflects the sky like a great mirror. The storm giant claims that the surrounding mountains are actually giants that have been turned to stone and that the salt of the lake is the dried residue of their tears. He does not harass the migratory birds that flock the lake when the rains come but he drives off any sentient creature he sees approaching the lake. The location of the lake is not well known by the humans of the east, but Old Willie often came down from the mountains with bags of salt, which sold well at Uncle Bertie's Trading Post. Since his disappearance, the trading post has been running low on salt, much to the consternation of the locals that rely on it to preserve their meat. Hooks: -What happened to Old Willie. Did the giant kill him for stealing salt? -The story about the petrified giants isn't really true, is it? / Again with the tears, I know, I know. [b]Hex 22.06[/b] The Western Edge of the Kingswood Note: this entry has been adapted from a post by "drek" at rpg.net. The elves of the Timberlode have had the worst possible punishment of the Seelie Court meted out against them: exile from the Kingswood. Ancient beyond the reckoning of any of the lesser-lived peoples, the court of the Bloodied King claims domain over Kingswood, living just as they have for a thousand-thousand years. The Court at Kingswood refuses all diplomatic ties and even the curtest of communication. The elves of Kingswood kill anyone found within or near their lands during the daylight hours. They cannot be swayed into allowing human traffic through their forest, citing the terms of an ancient covenant with a long forgotten Prince of Men. Hook: -Who is the Prince of Men, and why is he forgotten? -What did the elves of the Timberlode do to anger the Bloodied King? [/QUOTE]
