Cale’s Doom

The Grand Duke Cale is a legend among the peoples of Reme and Foere — the noble prince who renounced the throne to prevent civil war then presided over one of the nation’s greatest adventures. That the Great Colonization ended in horror and disaster seems to only add to Cale’s reputation, for he died heroically in battle at the head of his troops, desperately striving to stem the tide of shadow and save the kingdom.
This bleak and weathered spot on The Haunted Steppes is considered ill-omened by the Shattered Folk, for it is where the Caleen Legion and Grand Duke Prince Cale fell, consumed by the Shadow Horde. It is said that ghosts wander the land, still refighting the battle, and that sometimes disembodied spirits driven mad by centuries of woe fall upon the living, driven by envy and rage. The truth of these stories isn’t certain, for the Campacha and the Caleen avoid the place with superstitious zeal. It is known that creatures of shadow have sometimes been seen here, and that at least one party of eager young treasure hunters never returned. This has not quieted rumors that magic weapons, armor, and other plunder might be found here, but so far few have had the courage to brave the curse of Cale’s Doom and search.
