One Stone

Town in Cold Wood, The Silver Marches

One Stone is an ancestral mound of the Uthgardt barbarians in the Moonwood of the Silver Marches: a single huge engraved boulder instead of an earthen mound.

A single massive boulder carved with fine tracery rises at the heart of rings of cairns, with steps cut into its face leading up to an altar on top.

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.

One Stone lies in the Moonwood of the Silver Marches (our map places it in the Cold Wood). Instead of an altar mound, a single huge boulder covered in engraved tracery stands at the centre of its cairn rings, with steps carved up its south face to the altar. It was once honoured by the Golden Eagle, Red Pony and Sky Pony tribes. Legend says a god sealed a passage to the Nine Hells beneath the stone.
