Orwalt Family – Mausoleum at the edge of the Aca Forest. Mausoleum and cemetery sit in a small valley. Valley fills with fog each night. The fog is purple. Nearby is a small lake where it is believed a humanoid aquatic creature lives.
The Orwalt family was a very wealthy family prior to the Cataclysm. While most of the region from the Rinzeremel mountains to the ocean was populated, the Orwalts owned large parcels of land that went relatively undeveloped. As a family tradition, most of the immediate family was laid to rest in the family mausoleum and graveyard on this land.
During the Cataclysm, most of the surrounding area was scoured clean by the raging wildfire winds, leaving only the headstones and the mausoleum standing. It is believed that many of the surviving family sought shelter in the mausoleum and underlying crypts but were never seen again.
Since the Cataclysm, a purple fog started creeping into the low areas that surrounded the mausoleum. This fog creeps in around the time of nightfall and recedes by morning. The fog seems to emanate from a nearby pond/lake, where there have been rumours if something humanoid living within the lake.
What is the nature of the fog? What happened to the Orwalts that survived? What is the creature in the lake?
