Red Fern Barrows
These partially submerged barrow mounds are remnants of
the fallen kingdom that once held the lands around
Thornhill.
Once on dry land, extensive flooding when the
Blackwash and Tanglebriar rivers burst their banks centuries
ago inundated the mounds.
Occasionally explorers based in
Thornhill dig here in search of ancient, glittering treasure.
Most find nothing, but some disappear without trace.
These
excavations have created many deep pools in the
surrounding locality and explorers must watch their step or
suffer an ignoble, and muddy, bath.
The lizardfolk do not go here and it is rumoured undead
kings of the fallen kingdom yet sit upon their sunken thrones
in the depths of the barrows and jealously guard the last
remnant of their fallen kingdom.
