Saedwins Hare
Look out upon the horizon. The lands
around us support many exotic beasts.
Some of these animals are more
natural than others. It is said that,
somewhere in the hills, a creature
exists who will never die.
A great wizard named Saedwin came
here. His belongings were naught,
save for a purse of gold, a parcel of
herbs, and a rustling cage. Whenever
village folk visited him, he threw a
blanket over the cage. No one, he
said, could bear witness to my
secret. Immortality.
Deep in the night, the family closest
to our villages edge complained of
thunderous incantations. Twisted
villainous words and lights. Though
they tried to sleep, they were awoken
by sharp movements and the gleam of
fangs beneath their bed-side window.
Saedwin was told to desist with his
experiments, but he continued to work
in secret. What is one familys
rest, when weighed against real and
measurable immortality? As a final
test, Saedwin fed the elixir to one
of his hidden creatures. However,
before he could imbibe the formula
himself, the guards arrived. They
knocked the vial from his hand and
brought him into custody.
It is said that Saedwin withered away
in prison. The guards went to
investigate his campsite and found
only a rustling cage, filled with a
family of rabbits. Though the guards
let the hares go, Herman Shirley
insists that one of the rabbits had a
glint of wisdom in its eye. It turned
one last time and winked at him,
before vanishing into the highland
brush.

The Abyss, like the demons who reside

The Returned
Have you heard about the famous
outlaw, Red Richard? He lived around
these parts. The most interesting
part of the mans life is actually
his death.
Red Richard was not a good man. His
band operated out of a huge hill-side
camp, from which he would intercept
passing travelers and merchants.
Richard was responsible for no less
than sixteen deaths. The last crime
he committed, the one for which he
would eventual die, was committed
against one of his own.
