In The Wake of the Zorkul
In The Wake of the Zorkul
Spring has come, and the villagers of Hillkant have assembled in the inn The Goose to celebrate its arrival with a dance. Situated on a trade route crossing the foot hills of a low mountain range, Hillkant sees its fair share of merchants and visitors, and The Goose houses most of them. The party is in full swing, when suddenly, there’s a sound like a god grinding its teeth. The ground shakes. The whole building suddenly tilts 45 degrees, people collide, furniture slips, and everything begins to slide. After what feels like an eternity, with a sudden slam the building comes to a halt. A few of the beams come down. Smoke. Dust. People coughing. Then darkness descends and the earth shakes again.
