The Wildhowl Frontier
The Wildhowl Frontier is our second setting¸ an autumnal forest and mountainous region in the North. Usually a quaint wilderness where hunters gather to ply their trade¸ the forests of Wildhowl have been disrupted by recent events. Gloomwood¸ a tainted¸ twisted forest has spread through the north¸ corrupting all the creatures within its boundaries. Meanwhile¸ the local guardian of these lands¸ a dryad called Ashweigg¸ has lost her spirit tree¸ and has started to exact vengeance upon the hunters of the lodge. Add in the local druid¸ her newfound¸ horribly smelly dog¸ and your adventurers will have plenty of friends to meet¸ and plenty of foes to dispatch. The region is flexible¸ and should be easy to adapt into most campaign settings. This volume includes: 18 pages of forest-based adventuring¸ including hand-drawn pictures and a map of the region. An unnaturally horrid area of forest¸ the Gloomwood¸ with its own (d10) table for creating corrupted creatures. Three lists of random events/encounters in the Wildhowl region¸ for the three different main areas - The Grazelands¸ The Forest¸ and Gloomwood¸ for a total of 40 encounters. A listing of local NPC"s¸ their characteristics and concerns¸ allowing for easy creation of quests and storylines. One new magic item - The Ashwood Spear¸ a weapon particularly fit for hunting abominations.
