Mooren River Run

While many smaller streams and rivers run through the

Parchwood Timberland, gathering rain and snow runoff

from the nearby mountains, they nearly all empty into the

massive Mooren River Run. A powerful river that tears

through the heavy forests of the Alabaster Sierras, the

Mooren River Run flows fiercely southward out of the

woods and into Mooren Lake near the Lucidian Coast.

Freshwater fish are in ready supply along the river’s path,

and Whitestone maintains a well-guarded dock for their

fishermen to feed their people. Due to the plentiful nature of

the river, many denizens of the Parchwood wander its banks

to reap its bounty, or the bounty from those who frequent it.

For low-level characters: While traveling near Whitestone or

through the Parchwood Timberland, the PCs find the corpse

of a half-orc; a DC 10 Intelligence (Nature) check reveals it

was savaged by a large bear. This half-orc’s clothing marks

her as a shaman of the Rivermaw barbarians, a long way

from her usual stomping grounds. Investigating the scene

shows that bear tracks in the mud lead westward, toward the

Mooren River Run. While following these tracks, they soon

fade into the bare footprints of a humanoid.

The Alabaster Sierras

In the northeastern reaches of the continent, where the waters of the Lucidian Ocean break between the rocky shores

of Tal’Dorei, a lush treeline fills the valleys between the chalk-white bluffs of the Alabaster Sierras. This cold, uncivi-

lized territory lies beyond the direct reach of the Tal’Dorei Council, and falls under the sovereign rule of the Chamber

of Whitestone. The region is framed by dangerously windy shoreside cliffs and dry, desolate mountains swarming with

harpies, wyverns, and other hungry monstrosities. Beneath the peaks, the valley opens into the thickly wooded pine forest

known as the Parchwood. This dense, temperate rainforest is beautiful and lush, but many shadowed threats loom in the

dark of the wood.

The northern center of the valley marks a single clearing where the humble city of Whitestone stands as the source of

rule and law in this land. Built around the ancient Sun Tree, the people here have been hardened through strife and exalted

through freedom enough to know honor and appreciate loyalty like few other civilizations do.

“Aye, they’ll tell ye to be careful of the bears that
hunt along the shores of the Mooren River Run,
but they’ll not tell ye why. Let’s just say that not
every wild creature of the Run is what it appears
to be, and what you don’t know is best left alone.”
