The Valley of Whispers | Douxel Vale | Gildas | A 3.5 Hour Session | Levels 1–7
The barbarians are dead.
The warriors who guarded the entrance to the Deadstone Cleft have fallen, their fires extinguished and their chieftain slain. The path into the ancient hollow now lies open.
But they were never the true threat.
Somewhere beneath the mountain walks a stone giant who has traded reverence for death. A necromancer who defiled a sacred sanctuary and stole the Astral Relay, an ancient silver beacon whose purpose allows planar travel when key's correctly.
The deeper the adventurers descend, the quieter the world becomes. Every step carries them farther into a place where even echoes refuse to linger. Stone remembers. The silence listens.
And somewhere ahead…
Something is waiting.
Beyond the cleft lies another path yet untaken. Whispers speak of a marketplace where impossible bargains are struck and ancient curses may be negotiated rather than broken. The Crimson Broker deals only in blood-red gold… and accepts only the dead as payment.
One journey ends below the mountain.
Another may begin.
