It is no such thing, although the locals have seen strange shifting shapes, they are merely those of displacer beasts (on the north end of the island) and blink dogs (to the south) acting out their ancient rivalry.Hooks:-Is this where Bolgarus Bolger (30.15) got his blink dogs?-Why are these beasts here?Additional information about Hex 16.15: Small WatersNote: putting dried fishtails in a cup of hot sake is surprisingly tasty.This is a tiny fishing village of a mere dozen families that lies near the northern borders of this hex. There is not much of note in this small village except for one family known as the Villards who make a foul rotgut from spoiled potatoes flavored with dried fishtails. Despite its unpleasant taste, it is quite popular with the bargemen who ply the river who have a low opinion of anyone who can't quaff it by the cup.Unbeknownst to the rest of the village, the Villards have recently been replaced by a circle of doppelgangers who are still carrying out the last orders of their long-dead creator, for they are incapable of doing anything else.As part of this they have been depositing doppleganger young in their booze. These young are small colorless blobs that, when drunk, attach themselves to the stomach of their drinkers and slowly grow, hollowing out their host from within.Hooks:-Where are the bodies of the real Villards?-Is there any way to safely remove a young doppleganger that is growing within its victim?-Who created the doppleganger and what was the last order that he/she/it gave them? What are they doing to carry it out?-Who has a doppleganger growing inside of them?The Shrine of the First GodHex 15.16Heading west from Castle Tarengael  (16.16) on the ill-maintained road into Gore, the farmland quickly peters out and little remains beside the road but a collection of dilapidated shrines, which are used by those travelers who make the dangerous journey towards Thring's western border and beyond. Most of these small shrines have no permanent occupant, but the Shrine of the First God is an exception and is well maintained with its impressive collection of broken holy symbols always spotlessly clean.This is the home of Brother Humphries a cleric of the First God. If you are willing to sit through his long and pedantic lectures, you can learn that humans are the first and only true gods and that their souls are the source of all divine magic. According to him, all of the so-called gods are nothing but bloated parasites who feed on the souls of man.He is generally thought to be a harmless crank and is ignored by the local men of Thring, but if what he says holds no truth then what of the divine magic that is quite capable of casting.Hooks:-Is anything that Brother Humphries says is true? If it's not then why can he use divine magic?-If only human souls contain the spark of the divine, then what of the other races and their gods?</blockquote>
