A sturdy ironbound portal, reinforced by portcullis and flanked by high towers, the Lord’s Gate is the first line of defense in case of an attack from the south and east. The towers are outfitted with cauldrons for boiling oil, and rocks to be hurled down on attackers, and a small garrison of watchful Magn’gard…

Information about the city of Cillamar, the primary city for the campaign
The Black House (Taxing House/Court)
Standing at the foot of the Lord’s Gate Citadel, the Black House is guarded by somber members of the Lantern Watch day and night. The Black House was the first structure rebuilt after the fall of Cillamar, and it stands as a reminder of those violent times. An imposing threestory structure with heavy walls, parapets,…
The Warlock's Spire
The ruined tower once was home to an archmage, which perhaps explains why several floors of the tower are still intact long after the rest of Old Cillamar has fallen into rubble. The commoners know the tower as the Warlock’s Spire, the name of the archmage lost to the passage of centuries. n Like the…
Companions of the Black Osprey Academy (Former House of Ranwaer)
One year ago, the matriarch of House Ranwaer, a retiring crone, was convicted of deviltry after a series of noble heirs were victims of ritual murder involving the cult of Sestyruas, the diabolic Lord of Ardor. When the Lantern Watch investigated, they discovered that the entire noble family showed signs of consorting with devils. Thus…

Phadoh's Stables
The most reputable (and most expensive) horse trader in Cillamar, Votim Phadoh caters to the aristocracy and wealthier merchants. His warhorses are in especially high demand, and anyone hoping to secure a Phadoh warhorse will have to outbid the knights of the Magn’gard. In addition to selling horses, tack, and barding, Phadoh offers to help…
House of Mallac
The House of Mallac is unlike any other in Cillamar. Day and night, strange cries can be heard issuing from behind the high estate walls, and every day herders deliver several carcasses of butchered sheep and pigs. The retiring master of the house is seldom seen outside the estate, although those who do encounter the…
Shrine of Cayden Cailean
The Shrine of Cayden Cailean is located on Temple Street in the High Quarter of Cillamar. The shrine is one of the most popular in the area, possibly due to the pub that surrounds the holy tankard at the center of the building. While there is no formal worship service, the offer of buying a…
Gate of Sorrows
Named for the battle in which Cillamar’s surviving defenders made their last stand against Benthosruthsa, the Gate of Sorrows stands as a testament to the selfless devotion of Cillamar’s people. Perhaps appropriately, the Gate is also where Tower Street merges with the Lord’s Gate Citadel to pass beneath the town wall. n The Gate of…

Wise beyond her years, the Abbotess acts and speaks with divine grace and humility earned from her days serving the poor and downtrodden.
