Howler's Moor

This desolate and barren moorland offers only poor grazing for sheep and goats, but in summer shepherds venture into it nonetheless. The moor has a reputation almost as evil as that of The Shrieken Mire. The standard "black dog" tale, of a huge hound the size of a horse (its proportions grow in a linear relationship with the amount of ale ingested by the teller of the story) that eats shepherds and travelers after stalking them and driving them to terrified exhaustion, is told by most folk of the area. Some people even claim to have seen it, and they say that the beast is shrouded in a smoky miasma and breathes fire.
