We tracked the trouble in the Umar Hills to a ruined temple of Amaunator. The whole area had fallen into darkness and shadow, and we were attacked by numerous shadows as we approached the temple.
The catacombs beneath the temple were thick with shadows and undead, and the temple ruins had been thoroughly defaced. We restored the site’s dignity in small ways as we could. We destroyed two lichs, and they still didn’t seem to be the focus of the desecration.
Just up staircase we found what this was about. A Shade Lord had taken over the old temple icon. He had slain the area’s guardian ranger, and most of a previous adventuring party that had come this way. We could feel the temple and the land healing itself once we removed the source of the problem.
Returning to Imnesvale, Mayor Lloydd and his people were overjoyed. The pleaded with us to take the role of protector. But I’m stretched so thin just now, I suggested Madulf and his ogres would do better for them.
Then back home! Just for the night. But our neighbor, Lord Roenall stopped by for a visit. It was not pleasant, apart from the amusing lowbrow sort of insults the man threatened to remove us from the land by force. We will need to stick close for a few days and see how this plays out.
