History
Rotwood was settled in the year 844 shortly after Kalvin created the Kingdom of Winterkeep. The town was built to secure a foothill in The Autumn Forest and establish farming that didn't rely on hydroponics. The area was blessed by an archdruid with eternal life, but the spell went wrong and the area became stuck in the season of fall. The town was briefly taken over by a necromancer named Thelraz. Thelraz enslaved the townspeople in the year 1079 until adventurers defeated him and banished him into the catacombs below the city. Rotwood was then taken back into command of the Winterkeep Kingdom in the year 1088 and was ruled until Septimus implanted an intellect devourer in the village 
Description
Rotwood is in The Autumn Forest which is a wooded area that goes through an eternal fall. The area has many graveyards and tombs that zombies and skeletons infest. Haunted scarecrows litter abandoned farms and rotting households. Pumpkins and gourds are the main crops that grow in these lands. Vampire bats and other winged horrors attack the town on a frequent basis bringing terror and disease upon the remaining villagers. The dead are buried in mass graves and tossed onto carts to avoid the plague.
