Journey to the Tomb of the Spider Princess

Banished from Eaglespire Morgan set off on a journey to the nearest settlement of Bleak Hope. Irsia, the recruit she saved previously joined her as she was still recovering from the wounds she suffered during the duel. They set of early in the morning and by the time they had to break the camp for the night they encountered a large caravan heading towards Bleak Hope. Morgan and Irsia exchanged few pleasantries but ultimately had to make a camp and focus on their journey. Having some time for herself Morgan attempted to dress her wounds but all she managed to do was make herself have a restless night. In the morning Morgan decided to take a better look at the surrounding terrain, deliberating which path was easiest to follow.

Or at least that's what she told Morgan to call her. Morgan chose a cunning approach and attempted to pull...

I started by customizing the setting, choosing randomly from given options. In my variation of the Ironlands, settlers came here for the simple reason that their homeland was overpopulated. The lands are dotted with mysterious metal pillars which are worshipped and feared in equal measure. Villages within southeastern regions are fairly well established even having well-trod roads connecting them, however the settlements in more mountainous and forested areas rely on the services of experienced wayfinders to lead trade caravans through the inhospitable wilderness. Communities are generally lead by elected overseers and don't have standing armies or even trained militias. Both magic and religion are very prominent within the Ironlands. Almost all people know a helpful ritual or two and gods are believed to secretly walk among the living. Firstborn, the original inhabitants of this land, like elves, trolls, giants, elemental primordials or wolf like Varou still hold great deal of pow...
