Forbidden Psalm (updated: 10/1/26)

The innkeeper told the group to take the southern path past the decaying trees.
Along the cold, barren road they walked, until up ahead, beyond the trees,
stood a twisted castle.

The drawbridge is down, welcoming them, rusty chains draping off its sides.
they knock echoes through the empty castle.
After a moment they hear footsteps, and then a small window opens in the door.
A single beady eye looks out, wide and frantic.

the Mad Wizard hides in his castle, only appearing for those willing to undertake his bidding.

Vriprix the Mad Wizard bids the desperate, brave, and foolish to venture into the
ruins of Kergüs.
he seeks the forbidden psalm, a nameless scripture he claims can stop the Darkness.

whether there is truth to the Mad Wizard’s ramblings or not, his coffers run deep:
promised riches await those strong, quick, or cowardly enough to survive bearing back
treasures from the lost ages. 

and in these bleak times, good coin is hard to come by.
