Ladypeak

The journey up the mountain to the south east, known as Ladypeak, is considered a reasonable feat, without any other engagements. The steep and narrow road leading up the mountain is prone to black ice, rockslides and all manner of strange beasts. Toward the peak of the mountain, lays the small and rarely visited village of Hilltop, where adventures should be able to find a warm bed and a cold ale. The journey up the mountain can use the same encounter table as found within the The Journey to Silverymoon chapter. It should also be noted that 1 day into the journey as the party moves into higher altitudes that the temperatures will drop dramatically and the cold weather affects within that chapter should also come into effect. Ladypeak is the inspiration for a number of infamous rumours. The Lady’s Hand monastery, which exists within the area has a somewhat sour reputation. This monastery is home to around 50 monks, who are devoted to Loviatar, the “Maiden of Pain” or, The “Willing Whip”. Many travellers have been rumoured to have disappeared from around this area, although no proof of the monasteries involvement has ever been provided.
