Sundown
Sundown was a sleepy little village in Sorovia, ignored by the outside world. Its claim to fame was an ancient stone circle, erected before the Great Glacier covered the region known as the "Witches of the Glade", or sometimes just "the Standing Stones of Sundown.".
A few years ago the adventurer Angus Silverblade and his companions Bluto Fleetfoot and Corum Darkblade received a call from help by the local village priest Father Mattias. One of the standing stones in the center of town was missing, and a dead body, horribly disfigured was discovered nearby, with no reasonable explanation for what happened. The village elder Gillan was distraught, he was unable to perform the yearly "Blessing of the Seeds" because of the missing monolith.
Staying at the Witches' Brew Tavern, the three adventurers discovered that the monoliths were petrified shaman from a time before the Great Glacier. The Flesh to Stone spell, thought permanent, was wearing off. They freed three of the shaman after restoring the monoliths enough for them to survive, but doing so released the demon bound by the circle.
After defeating the demon, the three adventurers left the village. The three ancient shaman, Vai, Tia and Gorgus, stayed with the villagers, trying to learn about this new world they have been freed into.
It was during this quest that Angus began telling folks that he was related to King Dragonsbane, a falsehood which eventually caught up with him.
