Plaguestone

Etran's Folly - Plaguestone

The town of Etran's Folly has never had it easy. Located far from popular trade routes, it has never been more than a stopover point for merchants. 20 years ago, the town suffered terribly from a plague outbreak that killed almost half the population. Etran's Folly never truly recovered. This fact led many to refer to the town as “Plaguestone”—a reference to a stone marker in town once used to safely give food to the sick and dying. Many residents live outside Etran's Folly, in nearby farms or small houses on the outskirts. The buildings on the north side are mostly empty and crumbling, as it was the area hit hardest by the plague; only squatters with no official deeds and desperate people live there. Despite hardships, the people of Etran's Folly are generally friendly to visitors
