Orthos



Orthos is a mining town to the North East of Sil'Crest, founded by Erias Striken after his discovery of a black mineral in the mountains that came to be known as Dark Stone, this deep black ore that seems to eat light has unique properties when applied to weapons and armour.

In the center of town stands a tall statue of a human male, plunging a sword down into a Kobold. A small plaque beneath the statue reads "In honour of Erias Striken, founder of Orthos, seen here ending the kobold plague of Sil'Crest."

Unbeknown to the population some of the kobold survived, buried within the mountainside. Whilst there they found a new ally in the form of an errant green dragon egg. When the dragon wyrmling hatched, the kobold spent years nurturing it, feeding what scraps the could muster until it was grown and strong. Together they began to poison the water intent on killing the people of Orthos in vengeance.

However the kobold and green dragon didn't plan on a band of three adventurers coming to town. When Amoura was struck ill they set about to discern the cause and end this blight upon the town.
