For years, Elara’s Halfway House took
in the itinerant children of Falcon’s Hollow
and offered shelter to the numerous
war orphans left in the wake of a recent
conflict with nearby goblin kingdoms. A
few months ago the orphanage burned
to the ground in a mysterious fire. Every
child and the headmistress perished in the
tragic blaze, their only epitaph a charred
husk of sooty timbers.
lore Edit
DC 10: “Elara was a selfless woman who
spent the greater part of her life caring
for those no one else wanted. The fire was
a horrible tragedy.”
DC 15: “The fire started out of nowhere
and spread so fast, by the time the town’s
volunteer brigade arrived all that was left
was a smoking ruin, every child dead, and
Elara burnt to cinders. Hard to believe a
blaze that fierce could start as an accident.
I was always a’feard for the safety of
that place. Elara built her halfway house
far away from town and much too close
to that haunted vale.”
DC 20: “The last few months or so
before the fire people claimed to hear all
manner of clatter from the orphanage at
night. Screams they say. Terrible screams.
Some even claimed Elara lost her mind,
took to torturing the children in the dead
of night. That’s why she built the place
outside of town.”
