Claw Point

The tall, sheer cliffs around Claw Point are eroding to reveal a honeycombed network of burial passages and catacombs. These hold the moldering, shrouded bodies of Oeridians who settled here at least six hundred years ago.

The place is becoming a favorite haunt of tomb robbers. Unfortunately, their own bodies are found floating around the coast down to Shantadern at regular intervals.

The catacombs are said to be a mile or more deep, holding treasures and trinkets buried with their original owners. There are also tales of curses that affect tomb robbers, rotting diseases caught from the malign air in sealed burial chambers, and of vengeful undead who stalk those taking treasure from these tombs. The natural hazards of the place are bad enough, with crumbling rock and the nightmare of trying to climb down sheer cliffs. There are storms and gales which can whip in from the Sea of Gearnat in minutes.

Adventurers still come here, lured by tales of magical items hidden within the deepest -tombs. Those wishing to recover them are warned that smugglers use eaves along the western side close to the shoreline, and that Scarlet Brotherhood vessels have been seen close by, though rarely.
