Welcome to Velkir’s Hollow, where shadows stretch long and whispers carry far.
Nestled in a valley surrounded by the jagged peaks of the Grimthorn Mountains, Velkir’s Hollow was once a thriving village, known for its silver mines and vibrant festivals. But now, the light of its lanterns barely penetrates the encroaching darkness. A curse has taken root, seeping into the bones of the land, twisting the lives of those who call it home.
By day, the town clings to a façade of normalcy. Merchants ply their wares, children play in the streets, and the temple bell tolls the hours. But as the sun dips below the horizon, Velkir’s Hollow changes. Fog creeps from the Ashenwood, a twisted forest on the edge of the village. The mournful howls of the Midnight Wolves echo across the valley, and the restless dead rise from their shallow graves.
At the heart of the curse lies the ruined castle of Lucien Blackthorn, a former lord who delved into forbidden necromantic rituals in a desperate bid to save his family from a plague. His failure brought death to the land, and now, his tormented spirit haunts the halls, commanding the Cursed Zombies and Bats of Midnight Veil to do his bidding.
Adventures:
1. The Curse of Silver Veil:
The party is summoned to Velkir’s Hollow by a desperate mayor. The town’s silver mines have gone silent, and miners are vanishing. As the party investigates, they uncover the tragic story of Lucien Blackthorn and his failed ritual to save the village from a deadly plague.
2. The Pact of Shadows:
An old ally of the party, Wyett, sends a cryptic letter begging for their help. Upon arrival, they find Wyett half-mad, clutching a talisman that seems to repel the undead. What secrets does he hide, and can the party trust him?
3. The Midnight Hunt:
The fog-shrouded Ashenwood harbors the Midnight Wolves, spectral beasts that prey on anyone daring to leave the village after dusk. The party must hunt down the pack’s alpha and destroy its dark heart before the village succumbs to terror.
Characters:
• Lucien Blackthorn as a central villain: A tragic, cursed figure who seeks redemption—or revenge—depending on how the party approaches him.
• Wyett, the Wanderer: A mysterious ally who knows the secrets of the curse but hides a dark connection to Blackthorn.
• Midnight Wolves and Cursed Zombies as ambient threats: Encounters that escalate the tension as players delve deeper into the cursed valley.
• Castle Props, Gate, and Walls: Build an immersive dungeon crawl through Blackthorn Castle, filled with traps, secret passages, and cursed treasures.
Tips:
The tone of this setting is eerie and oppressive. Fog rolls through the village streets and castle grounds. Lantern light flickers in the wind, barely illuminating the figures of the cursed undead. For visual impact:
• Showcase Cursed Zombies shambling through ruined streets.
• Position Lucien Blackthorn atop a crumbling tower, his cloak billowing in spectral wind.
• Use fog machines, dim lighting, and gothic props to enhance immersion during gameplay.
