Wolfthorne This village is a great place to start a new campaign. It’s got plot hooks and dungeons scattered around the area, with enough gold and experience to get players anywhere from level 5 to 7. The history of Wolfthorne is one of mystery, simply because not many people were around when it was created and the founders are tight lipped about it. The village is built upon a large hill with a tight, conformed moat around the edge. Underneath the hill is a demon that was put to sleep long ago. Sometimes the hill breathes and strange things are known to happen in the area. There’s a strong Fey presence even inside the village walls. Witches travel here for supplies and for the fertile hunting grounds. Unicorns have been spotted before, as have fairy groves, displacer beasts, packs of blink dogs, and even a faerie dragon. Below is a list of NPCs that are in the town, a list of the buildings, and then brief descriptions of each location. After that there are tables for randomly generating the shop items, travelers, and plot hooks/rumors. Then, to top it all off, there are six dungeons in the area and they are included as well. These dungeons are at the end of the document. You’ll see the map first, then the dungeon contents. Welcome to Wolfthorne.
