Dungeon 13: The Forsaken House of Evil
Posted by Andy Lawrence on
Our Thirteenth Dungeon is The Forsaken House of Evil
Today’s dungeon is a place of ancient evil worship, abandoned by the gods and the old worshippers. Why did they leave, what happened, why are their odd lights and strange storms surrounding the island?
Dungeon Creation Information

The Forsaken house of Evil, is not this place’s original name. No one remembers what it was called before, but its current moniker is apt. A Dark and foreboding place, the local fishermen steer clear of the island and the bridge to the main land was destroyed a long time ago.
Dark clouds and strange purple lightning storms roll across the island, and strange lights can be seen floating through the old buildings and across the courtyards at night.
