Background

As a reward for their valiant efforts, the adventuring party are awarded a keep just outside the city limits. Its high walls, generous size, and clifftop location make it an ideal home-base for any group of would-be heroes. There is just one small problem, it’s haunted. Surely though, for a group with such storied deeds a few ghosts will be of little concern.

The Keep used to belong to another similarly renowned band of adventurers but was quickly abandoned for unknown reasons almost exactly one year previously. Despite their local fame, the former group disappeared overnight. They had built the keep around an existing chapel that had stood on the spot for centuries. Most assumed they chose the location for its strategic qualities and the existence of the chapel was happenstance, but some whisper of dark rituals that occurred there in the distant past.

Investigation of the Keep reveals that its founders discovered a hidden tomb beneath the chapel, before construction even began, and within it a relic that held a lost magic – the ability to imbue sentience to any inanimate object. The potential uses of such a power are enormous, but the relic could not be removed from the tomb without the power fading. The Keep was built to allow them to time to find a way to replicate its capabilities without it falling into the hands of others. The relic however had been sealed away for a reason, its power was cursed and over time this curse has taken hold of the Keep.
