Beorunna's Well

Town in Cold Wood, The Silver Marches

Beorunna's Well is a stockaded town of the Black Lion tribe of the Uthgardt barbarians, built around the deep pit that once held the tribe's ancestral mound.

Rough houses and a stockade ring a deep pit where the tribe's ancestral mound once stood, and from its depths come sounds the barbarians fear.

Overview

The Uthgardt are the barbarian tribes of the North, each named after its totem animal and each keeping an ancestral mound: a sacred site where its dead are honoured and its rites are held.

The Black Lion tribe gave up its wandering life and settled here in a small, roughly built town ringed by a stockade, around the pit where its ancestral mound once stood; Underdark monsters now lurk at the bottom. The town trades timber, furs and smoked meat, especially with the dwarves of Citadel Felbarr, and welcomes merchants brave enough to make the journey.

In adventures

In Storm King's Thunder the ancestral mounds hold relics that matter in the struggle against the giants; a party may need to visit, defend or bargain at one.
