Aber Settlement in Galfin | World Anvil

Aber

Aber is a derelict village located within the Undead Acres, a dark and dangerous part of the Mooncrest Forest. The village is mostly abandoned, except for the followers of Bogdan Grimbind, a powerful vampire lord who rules over the Undead Acres. Grimbind is a formidable undead being with the ability to transform into a long-limbed gargoyle-like monster and the power to hypnotize or control the minds of others. He feeds on human blood and controls an army of thralls, who are slaves or servants under his control. Many people avoid the Undead Acres and the village of Aber due to the dangers posed by Grimbind and the Beast of Dhamthurin, a great monster that rampages through the deep parts of the forest. The trees in the region appear to be ill or dead, adding to the bleak and foreboding atmosphere of the region.   Nestled in the heart of the Ivorian Heathlands, Aber is a place of mystery and decay. What was once a thriving foresting town has now become a ghost town, its once bustling streets now filled with the sounds of nature reclaiming what was once theirs. The only signs of life in Aber come from the followers of the infamous vampire lord Bogdan Grimbind, who have claimed the Undead Acres as their own. The winding roads of Aber lead to abandoned homes, their doors and windows long since fallen to disrepair, and the air is thick with the musty scent of neglect. There is still a hint of magic in the air, as the red-hued water of the fountain at its center seems to shimmer with light at dawn. This is a place of darkness, where the past and the present collide and where danger lurks behind every corner. Yet, for those brave enough to enter, it is a place of untold secrets and riches waiting to be discovered.
