In a forgotten corner of the lands of the Winterjarl, where not even the nordabjorn often go, lies a small mountain that is remarkable for two reasons.
Here is the only place where the flowers of the moon grow, delicate blooms that open only at night. If nighttime dew is gathered from their leaves and kept safe from the harsh light of the sun then drinking it can simulate the effects of exposure to moonlight and trigger lycanthropy and similar effects.
However, gathering the dew is somewhat difficult because of all of the undead about. These withered and worm-eaten creatures are constantly at work carving out an enormous form from the rock of the mountain. Currently they are working on the mouth and are mostly done with etching a broad friendly grin into the mountainside. The undead generally ignore strangers but attack any who hinder their work in even the slightest way.
Connections:
- The victims of Barnabus Bludenoss (18.10) do not know of the existence of moon flower dew but would be immensely grateful for a supply of it.
- Moon dew is one of the secret ingredients the Witch Queen (23.16) uses to rouse her hounds from the mud (22.16).
Hooks:
- Why do moon flowers only grow here?
- Who are the undead making a giant statue of? Is (s)he still alive?
