xplorers warn of a great evil that afflicts the ruined city of DeTreille, some way to the north of New Thalos. The once-proud streets and buildings are now little more than rubble, haunted by vicious and stealthy thieves, while more thieves patrol the forest beyond the wrecked city walls, always alert for visitors to slay and rob. According to the most experienced explorers, however, there are evils in the northern part of the city that are greater than any mere thief. A mansion stands northward of the ruins, kept immaculate despite the wreck of all around it, and within this mansion, so they say, lurks a terrible power.
