Old North Watch - Havard - 01-04-2019 In a discussion about Rodhinat The Piazza , we talked about the Old North Watch and I want to bring some of that part of the discussion over here.

The Old North Watch is described in DA1 Adventures of Blackmor page 45. Located on the Raider Road, it was once a stronghold of 50 on top of a high cliff on the North Coast. Their job was to watch for Skandaharian Raiders. The Keep has long since fallen and are now ruins. According to DA1, it has housed a number of monsters over the years, but is currently (Year 1025) the lair of the Green Man. The Green Man is the leader of the Wizards Cabal, but in DA1, the Wizards Cabal were an evil underground organization working to overthrow Uther, while in the 3E/4E books it was retconned into becoming the main organization of Wizards in the setting. I suggest finding a new role for the Green Man too and he could easily have picked another lair for his plans. Few travel along the Raider Road. In the FFC, two locations are mentioned notheast of Blackmoor: Wolf's Head Pass and Svenny's Freehold. I think both are located between Blackmoor and the Old North Watch. Wolf's Head Pass marks the end of civilization in that direction. -Havard |
