+One day, a recluse necromancer from the nearby city of Stavenn stumbled
+upon their home, weary and wounded from the stealthy marauders that
+tracked the wastelands. Startled at his ability to affect life and
+death, as well as awed, the village began to dabble in the darker arts,
+learning what they could of the necromancer before he perished. One
+specific pupil, the youngest daughter of the village's elder, was
+particularly adept, surpassing the necromancer and amassing great power
+in a short time. The villagers became frightened at her mastery over the
+death arts, and in their fear, barricaded her in a westward cave, her
+father laying the last stone that sealed the entrance. For nearly a
+decade they went uninterrupted, until the woman burst forth from her
+prison, warped and aged from the rigors of her mastery and filled with
+hatred at what her kin had done. Magickally sealing off the village and
+the surrounding bog, she unleashed her wrath upon her former village
+behind closed doors, continuing her studies and pursuing higher power at
+the cost of her former family.
+It was only in modern times that the elder son of the village elder,
+along with his father, managed to escape her wrath, even momentarily.
+Sacrificing his life, the eldest son released the seal on the village,
+in a desperate attempt to seek help from the outside world. Gathering
+his strength but unable to pass the hag's crafts, the elder Ulriead
+formed a camp on the outskirts, seeking aid from any who would hear his
+pleas. The former village stands amidst a warped and festering bog,
+filled with the proclaimed hag's experiments, both those successful and
+those that failed. Only those brave enough to step into her workings
+ever know to what extent her mastery extends, and few live to tell the
+tale.
