• Monster Town loredrop
  • history:
    • monster town 115yrs ago, the green flu (a plague) swept this region, turning people into (quick) zombies. over the course of half a year, starting from DRAGLET FORTRESS, it fucked everything up. affected humans and dwarves, wiped out the region monsters flooded west out of the Scar, and spread out into the region (as they were immune). a tribe of KOBOLDS took over DRAGLET FORTRESS. This is where the platinum is coming from. a group of GNOLLS occupied DOG TOWN, driven by a dream sent by their fiendish patron
