The Meat Eater

A little girl was found by a friendly circus troupe and brought with them to town. Well, that was the plan. She's the only one who actually made it to town, covered in the blood of the troup.

Sarab Mournhell is sure the little girl ate the circus troupe.

A large hill is gone as dawn breaks. What was thought to be a hill turned out to be a giant resting beneath the earth. He's awake now.

Undead minions have begun attacking travellers. The undead are all missing their hearts.

Finley Greenleaf heard a story that you could control an undead fiend by taking their heart.

A Circus of Pain

A travelling zoo has set up in a nearby town. You have been asked to investigate rumours that the prize attraction is an intelligent being, enslaved.

Durante Autumn wants to go see the new creature. Fribbington Miller considers what the zookeeper does to be slavery and he should be held accountable.

The One Who Watches

Ever since you looted an ancient burial site, you have dreamt of a strange creature. You have now started seeing it while awake.

Franklin Silvergem cannot see the creature you describe. Orren Moonvalley has started to treat you strangely after you confide your fears.

The Sinkhole

More than one farm has been swallowed up by a sinkhole in the area. Someone needs to find out what is going on.

It's believed by Natalie Hickory that giant worms are to blame.

Family Heirloom

You enter a city for the first time, and after a few hours wandering about you see a man carrying a particular sword. You recognize it, as it was your father's (or mother's) sword.
