Gorgon's Hut
Deep within the Gloomstalker Woods, hidden in a bog of blackened roots and shifting fog, stands Gorgon’s Hut, home to an ancient and malevolent hag known as Gorgon the Crone. The hut itself is a monstrous construct, seemingly built from twisted bones, rotted wood, and the remains of lost travelers, its shape changing ever so slightly when unobserved. The windows are wide, lidless eyes, and the door creaks like a voice begging for release.
Gorgon is a legend whispered among those who dwell in the Shadowfell. She is said to be as old as the plane itself, a being who knows the fate of all who enter her domain. Some claim she was once a powerful sorceress cursed for her ambition, while others believe she is a fragment of Nightmare’s own mind, cast out for knowing too much.
Those who seek Gorgon’s Hut often do so in desperation, for she offers knowledge, power, or escape—but her gifts always come at a cost. She does not trade in gold or gems but in memories, years of life, or pieces of one’s very soul. Deals made with Gorgon are binding, and those who attempt to break them often find reality itself warping to punish them.
