Nightbit

The town stands at the base of the Endworld Mountains between Whitecliff and Wyrmwatch, surrounded by forbidding cliffs and teeming jungle. Despite its remote location, only small, weak monsters and raiding bands have ever attacked Nightbit. The town’s government and religious leader, Salmus Hake (NE male changeling rogue 3/cleric 4 Dragon Below), tells of how he discovered tunnels in the nearby mountains that lead to the ruins of an ancient dwarf kingdom. Nightbit’s citizens do not allow visitors to view these ruins, and the wilderness discourages most explorers anyway. According to stories, Salmus found an old altar within the ruins, cleaned it off, and restored it. Now, many claim that his people’s worship of the entity to which the altar is dedicated keeps their town safe.
