Ivy covers its high walls, and golden lamps shine in its windows. But like everything in these strange hills, it is a place that the wise avoid.Years ago, the Sisters of St. Birgit took in a haggard, wounded Gorean retainer of some minor house. Since their healing arts were among the best in all the Shrouded Lands, he soon recovered. He insisting on leaving immediately, but one of the younger nuns was infatuated with him, and poured a love potion into his stew. Before the young nun and the bewitched knight could consummate their love, he transformed into a ravenous werewolf and attacked the nuns.On full moons, a pack of habit-clad werewolves stalk these hills, seeking blood. The werewolf nuns are a bane to both Thring and Gore, but neither side has successfully assailed the fortified abbey. The ivy on the walls are enchanted to strangle any men who attempt to scale the walls, and its doors withstand fire and battering rams. Often, questing knights from either kingdom meet in the hills and clash before they can reach the abbey.Hooks-Who is St. Birgit?-Why was an abbey built on this dangerous frontier?-What became of the werewolf knight and his lover?-Are the nuns still world-class healers, or have they descended completely into savagery?-What treasures lie in the dungeons beneath the abbey?</blockquote>
