[QUOTE="chutup, post: 5859666, member: 6690844"] [B]Salt Point (00.09) [/B]This narrow, mostly barren strip of land juts out into the Ocean of Bitter Regrets. There is a ruined lighthouse here, but few ships now pass along the coastline here. Long ago, it is said that this lighthouse was operated by the lion priests, those same who ran the Lost Lighthouse at 46.10. However, there was a schism between the two lighthouses, and the heretics of the ocean lighthouse were wiped out by their former brethren. The lighthouse and the old catacombs beneath it are now inhabited by a wizened old monk named Pou Roon. Formerly of the Temple Indivisible, he was a regular pilgrim to the peaceful place at Fernsbank (1.09). However, he became frustrated by the presence of other monks there from other cults. He wished greatly to strike them down for their heresy, but the general truce of the area prevented him. Several times he attempted to muster up a crusade from the Shuttered City to Fernsbank, but was met with indifference. At last he withdrew from the Temple and set up residence in the nearby lighthouse. It is he who is responsible for the evil aura that has recently come over Fernbank. His hope is to drive the other cults to make war against each other. Hooks: - Why don't ships sail the Ocean of Bitter Regrets anymore? - What was the schism that divided the lion priests? - What remains in the lighthouse and the catacombs of its original owners?

[B]Drowning-Place (32.22) [/B]On southern shore of the Keening Sea, where the desert meets the water, there is an island just out to sea, connected to the land by a stone bridge. For centuries it has been known by no other name than Drowning-Place. This island is the stronghold of the Whispering Sisters (though some argue that there are more members of that cult in the City of Shuttered Windows than anywhere else). The nunnery where they dwell is hidden by steep cliffs and tropical undergrowth. Rumour has it that it is also accessible by a secret path on the seaward side of the island. The location's name comes from the strange properties of the stone bridge. When men (not women) pass exactly halfway across the bridge, they are suddenly struck by a suicidal mania and immediately hurl themselves into the water below. Those who survive the fall will swim to the shore, climb up to the bridge and leap off again. Because of this, the armies of the Shuttered City have never been able to destroy the well-defended nunnery, much as they would like to. However, in recent years the Doge's wife has been attempting to organise a company of all-female soldiers to march on the Whispering Sisters. Hooks: - What strange rituals to the Sisters of Drowning-Place get up to? - Is the bridge's power a spell cast by the Sisters, or something older? - Will the Doge's wife succeed in her plan?
