Loose Threads

As an active hub for adventurers and mercenaries alike, Lastport has a thriving rumor mill. It's often easier to find adventure by listening to drunken boasts in taverns than looking up the official guild postings. However, information heard through the grapevine is not always reliable — sometimes a room full of treasure is actually a room full of cultists who want you for a human sacrifice.

An easy source for recent gossip is The Last Stand Tavern, a popular drinking hole for adventurers. However, veteran explorers may have more influential connections to better sources — the local guard, Thieves' guild, or government officials for example.

Fountain of Youth
The Charmed Peak mountains, located in the southern region of the highlands, is rumored to contain a mystical spring that grants power to those who drink its waters.

Trade Agreements
Imperial scouts failed a recent attempt to start trade with a nearby Dwarven settlement, Koudec. Returning soldiers claim that the settlement stored their more powerful weapons and armors in a nearby cave.

A traveling merchant was forced to abandon his cargo on his way to Lastport when he was overwhelmed by the local wildlife. The wagon is rumored to have magical items.

The Sunken Fort
The Sunken Fort is a local landmark, located in the southeastern region of the Wobart Thicket. While the fort has been abandoned by the Imperials, it seems that the fort may have found a new purpose — a bandit safe house for their stolen goods.

Spirited Away
A recent adventuring party lost one of its members whilst traveling in the northwestern region of the Wobart Thicket. The lost mercenary rejoined the group 2 nights later, unable to speak and carrying a strange artifact and map

Aeyrnad Hollow
