Eyes' Rise
 |
Shorn of their former defences¸ the people of the Grantlands face an uncertain future on the very edge of civilisation. But for some¸ the risk is more immediate than for others.
Just to the north of the much more famous rock carvings of the same name lies the village of Five Eyes. Intended as a town that would serve the newly settled Grantlands¸ it was never completed and is now largely forgotten by outsiders. Its current inhabitants are a mix of different peoples: forced settlers¸ a few willing arrivals¸ and the indigenous River Folk. To most folk¸ it is an irrelevant detail¸ so new that it rarely appears on maps and probably doomed to a rapid disappearance.
To those that live there¸ however¸ it is the only home they currently have¸ and they hope against hope that they can make it work. The arrival of brave adventurers may be the only chance they have.

This is a mini-sandbox setting describing a small¸ mostly forgotten¸ village on the River of Cradles. It includes nineteen NPCs that can provide interaction or story possibilities for RuneQuest or QuestWorlds games in Glorantha. Much of the material can also be converted to other systems or settings¸ so long as a half-abandoned frontier settlement might be in need of protection. It also provides a guide to the often-overlooked River Folk of the valley.
