Original Manual Text

Standing on a hill overlooking the River Prosper as it runs from the heights of Mount Esper into the lowlands, the town of Holtburg was one of the first Aluvian Villages. Settlers Erected it in 2 P.Y. (Portal Year, time dating from the year humans overthrew Olthoi rule), having struck out into the wilderness from the safety of nearby Cragstone to log the vast Tiofor Wood to the west. The town has since become a major waypoint for travelers, as it stands between the villages surrounding Lake Blessed and Glenden Wood, with the Gharu'ndim settlements beyond.

Points of Interest

• The Menhir are rings of standing stones, left behind by a long-forgotten Empyrean civilization. Sages believe them to have magical significance, but have not yet determined how they work.
• Rumors speak of centuries-old Empyrean libraries - long since fallen into ruin - sunken beneath the marshes. A large clan of Drudges has purportedly taken up residence within.
