The Rotmoons and the Starwood Compass - part 3, Journey to the Prime Dominion

Directed by El Doktoro's readings of the strange lights that danced across the Starwood Compass, the Rotmoon steered a course from Ghyran to Ghur. There they found the Ur-River in a place that had become known as the Scarlands.

They didn't stay in the region long but El Doktoro noted the place on their maps and in his logbook as worth revisiting later.

They followed it downstream, into Chamon where they found a poor little river-port town called Gehenna's Rest.

The port looked like it had been flooded some years before - there were signs the river had burst its bank; horrible stinking mud and all kinds of strange detritus was scattered for miles on either side. Flotsam and jetsam from Chamon and Ghur was piled-up against the stilts of the buildings and on the quayside.

The residents had done their best to repair their blue-green stone homes while trying to clean up, but the place was still in a sorry state. El Doktoro became agitated by a strong sense that something was wrong in the region.

The lights on the Compass flickered into life again and the Rotmoons moved on.

When the Ur-River became a plunging waterfall-realmgate El Doktoro double-checked the Starwood Compass and confirmed that they had reached the destination he was hoping for.
