Re: III - Geron, the Village on the Borderland
The priest studies Neuken for a moment, then replies, ”To the northwest of Geron, you will leave the forests of Geffron and reach grasslands. There, the grasses stand as tall as a man, so you will need to rely on the sun and stars to help you remain on your chosen course. You will continue northwest for perhaps three leagues before you reach the edge of a lonely forest. Much of the woodland’s ground is swamp.”
“It is the Lothenar Forest, so named for the wood elf king who kept his kingdom there long ago. Now it is ruins, and is the home of Vitriol, the black dragon who aided the Shadow Lord in driving the elves from the land. An ancient road leads northward, through the forest to Gareth Minar. Even before you have exited the woods, the tower should become visible to you. It is the tallest structure for leagues in every direction, fashioned from ancient stones. It sits alone on an empty moor. It is, as you might imagine, well guarded.”
