Although there are no vineyards in the area, Abdul (05.04) is able to purchase supplies from a nearby source, the Castle of the Poor Brothers. This castle was built by an order of monks on a rocky tor that towers over the surrounding countryside but it has since fallen into the hands of the Delasar family. Travelers who pass by the castle note its extensive and fertile gardens, which produce far more large coarse vegetables than are needed to feed Lord Delasar’s small retinue of servants and men-at-arms, even when his sales to Abdul are taken into account.
Connections:
- Lady Delasar has been seen entering the badlands (06.04), presumably to conduct some sort of strange ritual.
- The Delars once lived in a more humble mansion (07.04) and some of their in-laws remain there still.
Hooks:
- Where is the rest of the produce of Lord Delasar’s gardens going? Is he feeding some thing(s) hidden away in his castle? Note: at least some of it is sent to the Old Delarsar Mansion (07.04).
- What happened to the monks who built the castle (the Poor Brothers)?
- How many of the horrible rumors about Lady Delasar are actually true?
