Overview
Upriver from the city of Blind Midshotgatepool, the river branches off and flows on through the mountains, eventually leading to the Fanged Cliffs (27.18). Some way down the branch, one may find a deep pit of water that seems unnaturally dark and smells faintly metallic. This is the current resting-place of the waker worms.
The lands downstream of this pit are harsh and wild, and it is rumored that those who drink from the dark waters develop an uncanny connection to the world of the dead. There are some reports of people emerging from these lands with black lips and a newfound disregard for danger, as if death itself held no terrors for them any longer.
Hooks
- What wild dangers dwell downstream of the pit? Other than the flying snakes, of course.
- What happens if you drink the dark water?
