Weeping Cells
by James Hardie The men of the north claim the world was made from the corpse of a giant, killed treacherously by his divine children who wanted a new world to adventure upon. Others scoff at the story, but those outlanders who’ve seen the Weeping Cells sometimes wonder if the story is not so implausible after all. In a cave high on mount vallithorn overlooking the great city that took its name, miners found that under a thin layer of rock was thick bone, around an enormous empty cavern. They have unearthed a hole in this structure which they attest to be an eyesocket of the giant’s skull. The energy inside the “skull” made climbing down to explore it impossible, but they found a use for it. They built an iron cage which, with stout chains and winches could lower a prisoner into the void. Anyone in the cell is overwhelmed with sorrow, pain and betrayal, as the remnants of the creatures feelings are far too big for a tiny human to withstand. It makes for an impressive interrogation/torture technique. If you’ve convinced the priests who guard the cave to let you utilize it (or found the other eyehole somewhere on the far side of the mountain) lower your prisoner and roll +WIS. On a 10+ they spill, answering every question you have as honestly as they are able. On a 7-9 they also answer, but their time inside is still overwhelming them, making them distant and their answers short and muddled.
Revenant Chord
by Blake Ryan Revenant Chord is a nefarious piece of music that must be played on a harp during winter solstice with hands wet with blood from 6 different creatures. Bards and Necromancers whisper about the existence of this piece of music, and some claim to have heard a piece of it and been struck dumb with its power. If you play the chord, roll+Charisma 10+ = Pick one, no retaliation. 7-9 = Pick one, but once finishing their task they come for you. - D6 Morhg will undertake 1 task that is 13 days or less to complete. - 2D6 Draugr will undertake 1 task that is 13 days or less to complete. - 4D6 Zombies will undertake 1 task that is 13 days or less to complete. 6- = The music deems you unworthy, choose which hand is devoured by your harp.
