Erdogar Aker is a respected sage in the village of Larm. He is the man to see when questions of history and folklore arise. Although knowledgeable about many things, Erdogar's personal passion is uncovering the history of those who dwelled in the hills before the founding of Larm. He spends his free time writing and revising his tome on the history of the hills, about the peoples that came before.
In his younger days, he was able to conduct field work on his own, spending weeks at a time in the hills south and east of Larm, searching for relics and scrolls left behind. But now, age has come for Erdogar, and the days of his scholarly travels have ended. It is for this reason that he contacts the players and proposes a joint expedition of discovery.
Over several cups of tea in his cottage, he tells the players about a footnote in one of his scrolls, just an offhand remark by the scribe which mentions a message carved in stone on a great memorial wall. He is convinced that the memorial wall with the inscription refers to the crumbling ruined walls of the Whispering Stones, an abandoned outpost to the east.
He implores the players to make the journey, to search for the carved message in the memorial wall, and to bring back the secrets of the stones.
A fully developed dungeon map coming soon in Part 2.
