Folly

Folly is aptly-named. It is a wholly abandoned, yet largely-preserved stone village, with every building being a true folly, absurdity or aberration. Set in a shallow bowl of lowland, it is possible that no occupants ever lived here for there are no records to tell. Triangular sham church towers, castle facades without interior building, stone watermills with wheels and machinery but no river or stream in sight, lighthouses some forty miles from the shore, helter-skelter towers, fishing lodges, and 150-foot tall stone pinnacles, all stand forlorn in freezing winds blowing in from the Icy Sea.

Electrical storms and magical disjunctions sometimes blow around Folly and there are stories of many strange and magical guardians and monsters roaming within and around it. Folly is said by some to have been constructed as a whimsy by Zagyg. If this is so, it may well contain much in the way of buried magic and arcane lore.
