The Corruption

Something has happened to the creatures in the lands surrounding the village of Whitwell, on the Wold; the beasts in the forest seem more aggressive and unpredictable, there have been sightings of strange beings walking upright in the forests who don’t answer to a traveler’s greeting, and now even the few tradesmen who make the trek to the village tell stories with a dark countenance and conspiratorial air. Soon, they say, they won’t even feel comfortable making the journey, “If rumors be true…” If that were to happen, the village of Whitwell would be entirely cut off from even the closest towns. It is up to the adventurers to brave these newly perilous surroundings and find out what is causing this seeming corruption.
