Sunless Citadel: Rumours so far...

• The Old Road ran right past the nearby ruins of the Sunless Citadel, but fell into disuse because of goblin banditry.  No one knows for sure what the Sunless Citadel once was, but old legends hint that it served as the retreat of an ancient dragon cult.

• The Old Road skirts the Withered Heath, a lifeless land.

• Cattleherders don’t graze their stock too far afield these days.  They’re frightened by stories of new monsters that maraud by night.  No one has seen these creatures, nor do they leave a discernable trail; however cattle and people who have been caught out alone have been found dead the next day, pierced by dozens of needle-like claws.

• The missing adventurers include the warrior Talgen Hucrele, the wizard Sharwyn Hucrele, Sir Braford a paladin of Pelor and the ranger Karakas.  Sir Braford was not a local, and carried an enchanted sword called Shatterspike.

• Garon, the innkeep of the King’s Rest Inn, remembers that the last time anyone, aside from Talgen and Sharwyn, asked questions about the Sunless Citadel was about thirteen years ago when a grim man named Belak stopped by.
