Lowmere
A valley in the bottom of a lake that is not there.
Three hundred years ago the lake drained overnight. People moved into the bottom of it, because everything grows there.

Sixty miles of road, and every stop has noticed the same thing.

An evening in Lowmere. Two hours, four players, 1st level.
Every sack of grain in the valley goes through one wheel, and six nights ago that wheel stopped turning for six seconds. Nobody heard it but the miller, and he has not slept since.

An evening on the Salt Road. Two hours, four players, 1st level.
A caravan is stopped nine miles short of the auction with a cracked axle, and the weighing closes at first light. The salt can wait. The tally-stick cannot.

Lanterns at Candle Fen Ghost Story Adventure

€5.99on Etsy →
The Border Cairns
Every caravan this road has ever lost has a cairn out here, and every traveller who passes adds one stone. Nobody founded the custom.
€5.99on Etsy →
The Coldstile Wake Winter Mystery
Once a year the hill village of Coldstile mourns the drowning of a valley that nobody in it drowned in - two hundred people who have spent three hundred years being the only ones who were never under the water.

The Drovers' Camp
Forty drovers, a hundred head of stock, and a ring of stones with a fire in it that has not been out in living memory.

The Hundred
For one hundred years the village of Marrowdown has aged a single wheel of cheese in a sealed cellar. Tonight it is finally cut.
€5.99on Etsy →

One stone span, on a road that crosses everything else by wood or water. Nobody east or west can say who built it.
€5.99on Etsy →
The Quarantine House
Nine rooms, three days short of the border, built to hold a caravan that looks wrong. Eight of them have been empty for nine years and everyone on this road can tell you the number.
€5.99on Etsy →
The Reed Roads Dark Horror One Shot Adventure
Four square miles of standing water never drained at the low end of Lowmere, and across them run causeways of packed reed over stone - straight, old, and never once sunk.

The Salt Auction
The last real market before the border, five hundred people, and one bell that is rung exactly once per lot and has never in living memory been rung twice.
€5.99on Etsy →
The Salt Chapel
One room, one keeper, and a blessing every caravan takes before the empty stretch east. The floor is inlaid with salt in a pattern the masons built around rather than over, because it was already here when they raised the walls.

Every wheel of cheese that leaves this valley passes through the customs house at Saltless, weighed against one sealed bronze standard.
€5.99on Etsy →

€5.99on Etsy →
The Waterline

€5.99on Etsy →
The Wayside Grave
One grave, alone, a mile short of the border, with no village near enough to explain it. Everybody who passes pulls a weed and leaves a pinch of salt on the stone.

€5.99on Etsy →For Two Players 5
Written for a pair rather than a party, and they say so on their own covers.

€5.99on Etsy →
