This guy was such a creep that, while he was buried with the appropriate honors, the location of his tomb was kept a secret -- until the giant boar leads the heroes to it.I'm following the Matt Colville idea of having the first big campaign villain make a cameo appearance in the first adventure, so we're going to have the Queen's Riders demanding the halfling villagers tell them where the forgotten king's barrow is located, and then having that be our cliffhanger.I will be definitely filing away the evil humans (the descendants of the forgotten king's followers) and torque ideas, though, thanks. Both fit great with the vibe I'm looking for.</blockquote>
