News is spreading across Novashan of a massive drinking festival being hosted by one of the county’s up-and-coming brewery empires, The Tree and Compass. Said to rival any of the kingdom’s other yearly harvest celebrations, Ale Hallow’s will be held in Fennor, where its mayor Iona Arlan has based her main brewery and flagship tavern. Her biggest and most controversial offer: a massive discount on ale for the people of Ilveresh. Other brewers have scoffed, saying that the people of Ilveresh are notorious for the volume of ale they can consume, that she’s sure to run dry before the festival is through and ruin her reputation. The crew at the Tree and Compass Brewery have stated that they’re up to the challenge.

Rumor has it Iona’s looking to draw more people to move into her town, but it has some sort of old, dark secret the villagers don’t talk about unless deep into their cups of ale. The northern forest, neighbor to the swamps of Ilveresh, has had sightings of odd things moving between the trees when the sun goes down. The yearly local warning has gone up: don’t walk the trails alone at night. And die loudly.
