Flag's Rest

Flag’s Rest is a small town in the Sword Coast. This small farming town was put on the map because of a strange curse that plagued the town. Within a certain range, everything in the town withered and died - the water dried up, the plants wilted, the animals wasted away. Many of the townsfolk left when it was clear there was no respite from the curse.
Due to the evidence collection of the party, and their saving of Matreous, Candlekeep had enough information to lift the curse. Matreous, Nax (a local sorcerer who lives near Flag’s Rest), and Great Reader Teles Ahvoste were able to find the origin of the curse - during the time of the Spellplague, a local archmage Kixon was driven mad by the rip of arcane energy. He terrorized the area, creating a legion of followers who tore apart towns for resources searching for seeds of power. Kixon was killed by a group of adventurers at the site that is now Flag’s Rest. When he fell he unleashed a curse, warped by the Spellplague, that was only activated now. What activated the curse is unknown. Great Readers Teles, Akrist, and Fheminor worked with Matreous and Nax to solve the mystery, going from an obscure folktale to military records to history books to solve what plagued Flag’s Rest. The staff at Candlekeep were able to lift the curse, allowing the townsfolk to return at least.
