Morthimion

by Gabor Lux
Morthimion, the great ruined pile, has stood forlorn in its forest valley over generations. The
incursion of monsters from its lower levels, and their menacing of the civilised frontiers has
lead to the construction of The Great Wall, a grandiose task accomplished under King Donald
I. A single gateway was left to the wild realms, manned by the armies of Castle Tarkish, the
nearest town of note, and peace was restored once more.
However, treasure-seekers are still drawn to the castle with promises of rooms of gold and
fabulous adventure. The ruins are now controlled by the Wizard Wörramos (M-U 11), said to be
senile, deranged and extremely dangerous. Wörramos is withdrawn to his quarters, but the garri-
son, 50 strong (20 crossbowmen, 30 heavy foot), controls access to the dungeons. Wörramos
keeps 4 pet basilisks guarding his inner keep.
 A levy of 10% is in effect, and a first pick of magic items retrieved is possible when
Wörramos so pleases (1:6 for attractive magic items). Carrugron the castellan (M-U 6)
handles appraisal and taxes, and relays messages to his master.
 Visitors may stay at the stables.
 Simple equipment may be available at the Commissary.
 Henchmen are available as per Morale & Men (Echoes #01), small town equivalent.
 Wörramos may be consulted at a fee, cryptic hint 200 gp/dungeon level, but 1:6 of geas.
 Don’t anger the wizard!
