The Crypt of Valerius

Publisher Blurb: Long ago, a company of Archatian soldiers led by the Legatus Marcus Valerius, came across the abandoned stronghold of the Formorian chieftain Feggrog, which lay at the fork of the River Byrth and the River Dyyne. Valerius and his men claimed the castle as their own and founded the village that would one day become the Duchy of Forksdale. Upon their deaths, the Legatus and his soldiers were buried in the manner of a Northman Chief. A magnificent barrow tomb was built for them by the townspeople right over the top of another much older tomb. Over the generations, an oak grove called the Barrow Wood has grown up around this location, and the townsfolk have largely forgotten the legends surrounding the place. Lately, however, strange men have been seen going in and out of the woods at night. Rumors of a new cult and terrible human sacrifice are enflamed by the recent preponderance of missing people in the area. South of town, reports of horrible monsters abducting people and stealing livestock in the middle of the night abound. Duke Theoderic seems uninterested in the hysterics of the local populous and refuses to spend resources to investigate the matter, trusting his brother, Sherrif Berchar, to resolve it.
