Mech Alb

Description

In olden days, Mech Alb was a land of rolling hills, bubbling brooks, and vibrant farms.  The Old Road skirted alongside the Northern Woods, which the locals called "Hangman's Heaven" for the occasional bandit hunts which used the trees as gallows.  These same bandits eventually caused the main road to move to the south, winding past a small flat-roofed temple which also served as the local school for the estates.

Though the fact escaped most locals, the vast emptiness contained a stunning number of mass graves and most locals assumed the graveyard near their farm is "the graveyard," when in fact there population of the dead vastly outnumbered the living, as Mech Alb has found itself between nations and was completely ungoverned for much of its history.  There were very few undead attacks, which had local priests deeply concerned about the possibility of some cavernous kingdom lurking below which harvested these graves.  The locals thought this theory crazy, but the clergy proved very good children's tutors, and they were often the only literate people willing to write letters for commoners free of charge, so the stranger theories were mostly tolerated, though no action was ever taken to investigate.

In the end, there was much tribulation, as the priests were proven right. Trolls, goblins, barrow-wights, and ghouls of all sort overran Mech Alb, as they did most of Eastern Dwilight, in the days that led up to the Great Invasion.
