Howler's Moor

Connected to Kuiper Swiftwater   This de:!>Olate and barren moorland offers only poor grazing for sheep and goats, but in summer shepherds venture into it nonetheless. The moor has a reP'" ularion almost as evil as that of the Shricken Mire (see below). The standard "black dog" tale, of a huge hound the .size of a horse (its proportion~ grow in a linear Il!labonship with the amount of ale ingested by the teller of the story) that eats shepherds and tra\'et· ers after stalkLng them and driving them to terrified exhausbon, is told by most folk o(the area. Some pe0- ple even daim to have seen it. and they say that the beast is .. hroudeci in a smoky miasma and breathes fire. It doesn't exist, of course, but the howling of worgs from the Hardlow woods is enough to keep the tale alive. The moorlnnd supports SO little animal life that any sizeable predator wouJd find it very hard to survive, but if the D\1 wants to introduce some new monstrous element mto the campaign this is where it's most likely to tum up (who says there isn't any huge black hound here after all?)
