The small hamlet of Perdition’s Point lies deep within the haunting forest of Cadaverwood. Perdition’s Point manages to survive the troubling woods through their faith and unity. Their militia is only 12 men strong, and with little training, but attacks are few and far between. The biggest problem the villages faces is ghosts and specters that lurk in the shadows. The tavern only houses one bedroom, as there is never more than a single visitor at a time. The nearest main road is nearly 40 miles out, and the next town from there is another 3 miles, making for a full 2 days of travel to leave the hamlet. They make a living through simple farming and husbandry, using the abundance of wood as necessary and surrounding herbs and ingredients for remedies and cooking as they need. Every month a shipment of mundane goods is sent to the hamlet to collect taxes and trade for a portion of the unique wood they harvest. The trees at the heart of the forest have turned a sickly purple, a trait that nobles find most valuable.
Just over a month ago, one of the boys belonging to the Carevin family went missing and was never found. The village was hit hard by the event, and when another child went missing a month later, they decided something had to be done. A town meeting was called.
