Ulverland's Colonies in the

Discovered Countries

Solemnity
A bustling township growing wealthy from salt mining; however, this new-found prosperity is undercut by
the burgeoning witch hysteria growing within the community
St. John Masters, a firebrand preacher of the White Way, has arrived in Solemnity to ferret out the
coven of witches blamed for every miscarriage, failed crop, and misfortune that befalls the
citizens.
Ferris McLorde, a gnarled and deranged caliban, is St. John Masters's agent in sniffing-out
deviltry in Solemnity; Masters keeps him on a leash and treats him like a dog, but McLorde can
smell witchery as surely as a hound smells game.
Goody Warwick, a renowned beauty with golden hair and clear eyes, runs a public house within
the township. It's rumored that she stores smuggled goods in the basement of her establishment,
or dabbles in a far less savory trade down in its depths.
Bonfires of hellish flames have been seen flickering deep within the woods around the township;
these are believed to be the marks of the witches' sabbath.
Thirteen Blades
A curving roadeach curve is one of the blades it is named afterconnects Solemnity to Sharpe's
Valley; few dare to travel this road at night for fear of being attacked by black-haunts.

Bourbon Vale Road

This road veers north and west from Sharpe's Valley and serves as a route by which the farmers attached
to remote hinterlands bring their produce to market. Wayfarers report that defiled remains have been
found in several clearings along this road; rumors of witch-cult activity abound in the region.
The Floating Chapel
This place of worship is the sole building dotting a small island on Lake Oneiric. It is maintained by a
small splinter congregation of the Church who believe free love and bigamy to be no sins.
Sharpe's Valley
A struggling farming community and way station between Solemnity and Port Esterburg
Paul Kilmason, an apothecary clad in curiously out-of-fashion clothes, sells a tonic rumored to
cure most ailmentsincluding the plague.
Spectral war parties of native braves arise in the moonlight to make war once again on the settlers
from Ulverland who now build on their ancestral lands.
A rusty gibbet hangs at the crossroads where the Thirteen Blades and Bourbon Vale Roads meet;
it is said that on midnight of the first of each month a gateway to a fey marketplace where goblin
merchants sell marvelous fruits opens beneath it.
The Sword of St. Stephen of the Fields, a magical artifact sacred to the Church, has been brought
to Sharpe's Valley under mysterious circumstances.
Buck's Road
Strange effigies of wicker and twine are often found mysteriously tied into the branches of the trees that
line this road connecting Sharpe's Valley to Port Esterburg. Travelers report being attacked by gnarled,
man-like albino creatures who steal away with the decapitated heads of their victims.
Misery Lane
Another route that stretches between Sharpe's Valley and Port Esterburg. Approximately halfway between
the two major settlements is Varnworth's Asylum for the Mentally Unsound. This road is said to be
haunted by the white ladies of the fey, hell hounds, and the boneless ones.
The Stone Prophet
The Stone Prophet is an immense statue of a sphinx found upon the banks of the Saskatoo River. The
natives of the region claim that the Stone Prophet was in place long before their arrival in the area. Some
say that the Stone Prophet is a burial monument to a forgotten native chieftain, and that untold treasures
are secreted within it.
Port Esterburg
An island-bound city of crime and opportunity over which Fort Esterburg stands grim vigil
Port Esterburg is attracting many immigrants who belong to heretical and persecuted branches of
the Church of the White Way.
Lady Marigold FitzSimion, estranged wife of the adulterous Sir Reginald FitzSimion, plots her
husband's disgrace and downfall.
Native tribes displaced by Ulverland's colonists meet in the wilderness to discuss whether Fort
Esterburg should be overrun by force or by a great working of sacrificial magic.
The Ragged Rider, the ghost of a Caligarian mercenary, rides his spectral steed through the city at
night, claiming the souls of those he chances to meet in Esterburg's streets.
