Reaching Bluff

In a small, fertile valley in the northwest of the Cliffkeep Mountains is a small village founded by Tal'Dorei homesteaders just ten years ago. This simple settlement is inhabited by hardy folk seeking new places to mine gold and iron from the earth. Many unpleasant exiles from Kraghammer have joined them, so while this village has a charming, rustic atmosphere, few travelers stay for long. The hostility toward outsiders is palpable to all.
This insular attitude has only grown more hostile following the discovery of a gleaming dodecahedron about the size of a human head. One of the eminers who unearthed it found that her pickaxe barely scratched its surface—and when struck, it began emanating a radiant, internal golden glow. This mystical object was retunred to the village foredwarf, and before the day was out, all the villagers had learned of it. The people of Reaching Bluff call it the Lost Beacon of Unknown Light and worship it as a god.
The settlers protect their mysterious beacon with cultish fervor, and Foredwarf Daz, a deceitful dwarf veteran with earth elemental ancestry, is willing to murder anyone who trieis to probe into their business.
