Gräfvenhusk Regional Map
🕑 Added 2025-10-20 23:06:47 +0000 UTCI’m putting together an adventure for a Mörk Borg Hallowe’en… And of course I needed a small regional map in addition to the actual site of the adventure. You’ll have to pardon the pseudo-nordic names I used for the Mörk Borg atmosphere. The adventure itself will be centred upon the sinking chapel known as Gråtkyrka (the Weeping Church), one of the last remnants of the village of Gräfvenhusk. The whole area of the village was cursed by something, and slowly sank into the swamp. Neu Gräfvenhusk was built some distance upriver from the swamp on the tallest hill in the area to prevent the same fate.
Even so, Neu Gräfvenhusk is the hollow shell of a town. No noble protects these lands – the last Count was stripped of his title soon after the original town sank into the swamp. Many of the buildings in town are vacant, some collapsing from long mistreatment and rot. With the coming of the end of the world, the fields lie fallow, the farm animals all long ago slaughtered for their meat. The folk are frightened and hungry… and something truly foul is happening at the old sinking chapel.
Other locations of interest on the map are
The Stenbrötter (brother stones) – jagged monoliths streaked with white veins like marrow. The folk of Gräfvenhusk say that they shift slightly each night, forming patterns that foretell good harvests, or lately just famine, plague, and ruin.
The burned out hamlet of Brändskov on the edge of the forest was once a cluster of hovels around a charcoal kiln, now just blackened chimneys jutting from the ash.
The old mine in the hill north of Gräfvenhusk is now known as the Svärtmynne. A yawning cave in the hillside, its breath cold and damp. Weeping can be barely heard from within, though no one who entered has returned to confirm the source.
And north of the Stenbrötter we have the Spindelskarr, a section of the forest where the trees are draped in thick, grey webs that sag like burial shrouds. The ground is littered with the husks of birds, deer, wolves, and the occasional human.
