Alric's Waylet

LocationPilotStarwizard-warvillageplaguedawncrest

A small crossroads village between Mellowbank and Wickhample β€” the kind of place that exists because roads cross there and people need somewhere to stop. The Church of Drakarion ran a currency-cleansing station and early-stage plague clinic here until Dawncrest took the village and converted it into a covert laboratory.

Physical DescriptionA market square, a community hall, a blacksmith's workshop, a central well, and farmsteads. Beneath it: a repurposed cellar of sleeping pallets, a converted root-cellar laboratory, and holding cells, all reached by a hastily excavated side passage at the base of the dry well.

Record Notes

About this record: art and source provenance, discrepancies

Dawncrest built the entire underground installation WITHOUT MAGIC β€” Fey swept the village twice with Detect Magic and found nothing. Either philosophical consistency or deliberate operational security. The tells the party read on arrival: people in the square but no children, no dogs, chickens audible but unseen, birds perched in rows watching the road, a freshly mortared well, a house barricaded from the outside with new unseasoned wood, a blacksmith's tools laid out mid-task with the forge cold, and a carved wooden horse half-buried in the mud. Casualties: six villagers killed by Fey's Chain Lightning, two lost to sedation-withdrawal complications in the first day of recovery, thirty-eight saved. Senna's laboratory was transported whole to Starfall afterward.
