The grim fortress known as Falcon’s Peak has brooded over its mountain pass for almost a century. It was built by a brigand chief who called himself Lord Falcon, notorious for his lightning-fast raids, crafty kidnappings, and utter savagery in dealing with captives. Rumors were told of Falcon’s wealth and of a terrible monster trapped in a hidden pit somewhere beneath the fort. Falcon supposedly fed captives to the monster as sacrifices to his evil god.
Eventually, the baronies bordering the pass were forced to mount an assault on Falcon’s Peak. After two days of battle, the soldiers overwhelmed the disorganized brigands—but not trace was found of Falcon, his family, or his plunder. The few surviving brigands said that Falcon and his family hid their treasure and committed suicide by drinking poison. Their bodies were entombed in hidden catacombs by faithful servants, who did not return. None of the surviving brigands knew where the treasure or the bodies were hidden. A cave beneath the fortress was found and searched, but it was small and led nowhere.
Falcon’s Peak is said to have been abandoned and untouched for over 90 years. The only ones to enter the fort were unsuccessful treasure hunters; some never came out again. Most of the common people believe that Falcon’s Peak is haunted by the ghosts of the slain brigands, and none dare enter the old fort. As of yet, Falcon’s treasure has not been found. It is still somewhere in Falcon’s Peak, waiting to be claimed by anyone who has the courage and luck to find it.
The player characters have been attracted by rumors of the lost wealth, made ever more spicy by its association with the infamous outlaw chief.
This homebrew world is expansive and detailed, and I have almost an entire book written. This is not a poorly unified, scattershot collection of “notes” and “it’s all in my head”. No, I have well over 200 pages written, maps, adventures, classes, races, rich history and lore. It is not entirely complete, but there is plenty there to build characters and draw adventures from. And I'd love to update anything you wish to use, so feel free to keep me busy on it.
