Star Haunt
The Celadon Forest has its share of ruins and mysterious places, but none as strange as the star-shaped castle ruin named Star Haunt. The castle is said to have been built by an ancient Oeridian tribe overwhelmed by an inner madness. Its walls glow in the dark due to a phosphorescent moss (and to magic itself).
Monsters lurk within and have a natural defense, for creatures inside the keep become affected by a displacement magic (as per the cloak) after some weeks of dwelling there. Eventually, it is said, they fade and become spectral undead. Wraiths and specters are seen here, and the wails of ghosts and banshees can be heard. The doom that befell the original occupants is as unknown as the magic and treasures the castle ruins may hold. Celadon folk give this mysterious place a wide berth. The shooting stars that rain down around it from time to time are the least of the hazards here.
