In this portion of the Forest of Abominations lies a crumbled city of broken monoliths, statues with hands raised in praise sunk in the dust and temples fouled with dug-up bones.
Little lives here now but feral hyenas and a band of ghouls. Their leader is an immensely obese creature far too fat to walk who is especially skilled at illusion (19.31.02). He is willing to provide the lesser members of his band as guides to travellers if they pay him thrice their weight in fresh corpse.The ghouls also claim any dead bodies (except those of Nekh which they fear) that are being carried through their territory. Of course, being ghouls, they may well attack even those who pay up.
Hooks:
- Who built this city?
- Will the ghouls keep up their end of the bargain? What secrets can they guide travelers to?
