"There is no such bridge" - Brinewall mentions[lite spoilers][Academic]

[thebwt]

Before getting deep into reading part 1, I knew well tht brinewall was a 'ghost town'. I'm trying to find, for no particular reason at all, why I knew that.

I think it was "The Winter Witch" pg 171 (looking over it, all of chapter 9). But the mention is short(ish).

Excerpt from book, not plot spoilers:

Over twenty years ago, a Chelish emissary had arrived to find Brinewall - both the village and the fortress for which it was named - completely abandoned. Initially the empire blamed Ulfen raiders or a coordinated attack from several bands of Nolanders, but there were no bodies to be found, and not the slightest evidence of violence or looting. Even the ships remained at moor in the harbor, the emissary's men said,untouched be weapon or flame. Speculation turned toward supernatural causes, and soon everyone from Ulfen raiders to Shoanti shamans shunned the place.

Note:It is not clear what year this is written from, only that it is summer.

Are there any other mentions of Brinewall? I can't find, in a quick glance of the setting materials, information on it. I'll do a more thorough look after I finish reading the AP and post any findings. Figured I'd poke the community to see if anyone can make a better roll on knowledge(made up worlds) than I.

To paizo:Nice work keeping the lore synced up, even in small parts of the novels; especially on things that aren't 'published' yet.

Also feel free to mention any other fun 'easter eggish' tidbits that come to mind. (I imagine if I read RotRL, I'd have a dozen more.)

Beside the bit from "Winter Witch," all that we've really said about Brinewall before Pathfinder #49 was a short bit of info way back in Pathfinder #3.

I've had this adventure more or less planned for that long, so keeping the lore synced up wasn't really a big deal. :-P
