Vaasa: Between Bog and Bloodstone
from The Lich's Tale: A Faerûn Lorecast Hosted by The Lich's Tale
Listener Joe Biggs asked for the cold tundra bogs of his campaign. Erilian takes a water-stained map north: through difficult crossings and workable ground, past the shadow of Castle Perilous, and into the lives of people facing the Warlock Knights' demands. We visit the Bottomless Bogs, Moortown, Palischuk and Fugue, asking how season, trade, power and local knowledge shape a journey. The telling distinguishes the 1359 DR frame of *The Bloodstone Lands* from the 1480 DR Vaasa article in *Dungeon* #177. Imagined households and adventure ideas are identified as original illustrations. Thank you, Joe. Send places, people and mysteries from your own campaigns to [email protected].
