Feldgrau
Feldgrau was a village in the Furcina area of the county of Ardeal Ustalav lying close to the source of the Millrun River. Today it lies silent and ruined in the middle of the blasted wasteland called the Furrows.
History
During the War Without Rivals, toward the end of Barstoi’s forced occupation of Ardeal almost two decades ago, Count Aericnein Neska’s troops spent a night in the small town of Feldgrau. When they pulled out the next morning, they repaid the town for its hospitality by butchering its citizens and putting Feldgrau to the torch. The soldiers disposed of the bodies in a single mass grave in the center of the town square. Feldgrau became a literal ghost town overnight, and the souls of Feldgrau’s slaughtered citizens now haunt its streets and ruined buildings. However, the memories of the dead still linger in and haunt the place.General
By the time the Fellowship had made it to Feldgrau, the Whispering Way had already established a strong foothold in Feldgrau under the leadership of the necromancer Auren Vrood. He had instructed his agents to hunt down and destroy the haunted souls of the town’s ghosts, and then raise their corpses to form the backbone of a growing army of mindless walking dead, ready to follow the orders of the risen Whispering Tyrant when he was reborn. To further complicate matters, the Demon Wolves had also already arrived in Feldgrau as well, intent on claiming Kvalca Sain's heart and lordship over all Shudderwood, followed by those Prince's Wolves sent by Rhakis Szadro to oppose them. The Demon Wolves had occupied the town’s abandoned mill, making guerilla strikes against the cultists and their undead allies, while waiting for the right time to confront Vrood and reclaim the packlord’s stolen heart. The Prince's Wolves had settled into the dyer’s shop; eager to let the Demon Wolves and the cultists waste their strength on each other, they avoided all conflict. It was here that the Fellowship confronted Vrood, but not before he had created a skull from the bones of the dead and had already sent out the components for The Carrion Crown he had previously collected.Maps
