Rock of Corruption

At the northern tip of the island there is a small hill overlooking the sea. It is rumoured that anyone who sleeps there on the night of the full moon will change shape. (Unconfirmed)

In the same location in the ethereal is a near-dead tree which has recently (807) been found to have a small green bud. Prior to 807 the tree had an iron cage suspended from it. Within the cage was a withered looking werewolf, whether it was alive or dead was never determined. This location had been a nexus point for the great salt curse.

As you approach the promontory from the south, a 3' brick wall crosses the point from shore to shore. The only gap is a gate with a paved path that leads to an inviting-looking little brick & shingle cottage. Inside are four sturdy wooden beds. Over and around the front door the brick work is engraved with a flowering tree and elven runes which roughly translate as Welcome, Peace, Sleep, and Eternity. Although the place is in perfect upkeep (apart from a little dust), there is no sign of magic.

GM Information / Spoiler. (Highlight to read).
At the peak of the hill where the tree stands in the ethereal a couple of Black Hickory nuts were buried in Autumn 807 and the land was (wiccan) blessed. The hill is a high mana area for all Mages and a Place of Power for both Druids and Pacifists.
