The Shroud

TODO: Update to new locale format

The Shroud is the smallest of the 5 islands, so named because it’s always shrouded in fog. Making up stories about what the wizards of the Shroud are getting up to in their high towers is a favourite pastime of the Circlet. This is encouraged by the inhabitants of said towers, who aren’t above whipping up a peal of thunder to preserve their mystique. Although the tower wizards are what the Shroud is known for, a number of other mages and scholars of all kinds make this island their home as well.

Landmarks

The Falcon’s Nest. A tavern built on the top floor of an old ruined tower. The lower levels, riddled with holes, are an open air market for reagents, books, and all the other sundries that wizards hold dear.

Tempest Round. A circle of stones on a high tor that overlooks the Shroud. Weatherworkers looking for work demonstrate their craft here, conjuring winds and shaping the clouds for the benefit of the captains that might hire them.

Notables

The Wizard Aldermorn, a mangrove songborn who dwells in a dismal sea-cave lit by smoky flames. Considered eccentric even by wizards, his craft takes him far beyond the Garden Wall. (Eeerie, Obsessive, Regretful)

The Wizard Dusk. A famous mage whose youthful deeds of power once gave her the epithet “world binder”. Has scarcely uttered a spell in public since she settled down in the Shroud. (Reserved, Mischievous, Lonely)
