Adventure Background
A thousand years ago, the lands of Forweald were the domain of Godwyn, chief of the Eo clan and a warrior of unshakeable will. He was a ring-giver, forward in battle himself and generous to those who showed bravery in the shield-wall.
When Godwyn and his faithful huscarls fell to dark beasts summoned by sorcery, his son commissioned a great stone cairn, a tomb worthy of such a hero and his loyal retainers. For many long winters Godwyn slept. Grass covered his cairn, his line failed, and folk lost the memory of the cairn and who lay within. The great king was forgotten, save for the place called Godwyn’s Hill where his tomb remains.
A few days ago, Godwyn’s bones were disturbed by adventurers who despoiled his tomb. The chieftain rose in wrath, and his huscarls with him. They slew one of the thieves, and her fellows fled in terror. Since then Godwyn has brooded in his cairn, sending his huscarls forth at night to seek out the thieves and recover what they stole. The huscarls in their fury have begun attacking peasant huts in and around Forweald.
