Brightshore

When Brightshore was first founded, it was built on top of the ruins of a much larger city, whose name is now known to have been Cathorn. The ruins of this city to the west of the Olteus River are still largely unexplored and unclaimed. Dangerous creatures of all descriptions have been discovered within.

Multiple parties of adventurers are currently working to tame the ruins, piece by piece.

Here are some of the locations that have been found so far (in order that they were found).

• Golem's Tomb. An amulet was found in this tomb and taken to Brightshore, which led to the awakening of a massive golem that destroyed most of the River District.
• Boar's Sheaf. An ancient shop in which lizardfolk and a banshee were discovered.
• Lightning Rod Building. Somewhere in the ruins is a building found by adventurers that contained a lightning rod and was summoning continuous bolts of lightning.
• Kraken Cult. The cult of the kraken once had its headquarters in the ruins by the shore of the bay. In the adventure in which the cult attempted to steal Gombold's ship, the Tide Dancer, the cult was apparently exterminated.
• Factory. A magical chocolate factory found inside of a restored building in the ruins.
• Armory. A ruined armory in the ruins was found by adventurers. Texts related to the summoning of devils were discovered inside.
• Bell Tower. This ancient tower once housed a massive bell. It was recovered by a party of adventurers.
• Sunken Temple of the Sphinx. A cave in the western bank of the Olteus River across from the Market District leads to ancient catacombs containing a sphinx and many undead.
• Marco's Summoning Circle. A stairway in the southeastern outskirts of the ruins leads down into the chamber where Council leader Orrin's son Marco was seen summoning devils.
• Medusa's Mausoleum. An ancient mausoleum in the ruins was once inhabited by a medusa and her army of stone-cursed statues and clockwork golems. The stone-cursed and golems were destroyed and the medusa relocated elsewhere.
• Manticore Tower. A tower where a manticore and its baby were found.
• Abandoned Manor. A large abandoned structure. Nearby, adventurers Atwood and Zerck are starting a ranch for horses.
• Dollhouse. A door in the ruins leads to a basement where some adventurers encountered some creepy haunted dolls.
• Mind Masters' Basement. A hole in the ground by the bay leads to a basement where several duergar and a mindwitness were found.
• Red Sash Headquarters. A compound of ruined buildings occupied by the Red Sash goblins.
• Red Sash Outpost. A Red Sash outpost was established in the ruins a little under a mile west of Brightshore proper. There is a fairly clear road to it about thirty feet wide that snakes to the north and south as it goes.
