Mistwatch The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

Huddled against a hillside on a stony shore, Mistwatch has an exquisite view of Lake Wintermist’s cold water. A sleepy town of 565 citizens, blessed with riches from timber cut from the Winterbole Forest, and well fed on trout and salmon drawn from the clear, mist-covered water, Mistwatch has long known peace and prosperity until recently.

After Lord Cadimus Zaspar "the lord of Mistwatch" castle was completed, stone buildings replaced the wooden shacks and piers grew out across the water to meet the burgeoning fishing industry’s needs. The crude hamlet became a thriving town, a trade partner for nearby Winterhaven, and an important stop for merchants bound west from Fallcrest, Hammerfast, and Harkenwold. Even though Winterhaven has authority over Mistwatch, the settlement still has a local ruler whos name is Lord Cadimus Zaspar of House Zaspar who rules from his castle Widower’s Watch which ironically was the very first structure built when Mistwatch was founded. Lord Cadimus Zaspar lost his beloved wife to sickness the first year after claiming his land.

Its people are simple folk. They make few demands on Lord of Winterhaven Ernest Padraig and are content with the lives that has been given to them, finding peace and accord with their neighbors in spite of all that is happening to Mistwatch. The trade that comes through Mistwatch "not so much these days" helps the town keep up with goods they cannot acquire themselves.

Over the last year a thick mist has slowly developed that now covers Mistwatch. The mists have grown thicker and darker with the passing of each day and the settlement seems to grow more sinister the thicker the mists get. Within the last year, this settlement has gone from a peaceful, civilized location to a dark and gloomy place.

The overall population has also dropped as well due to people just packing up and leaving . . . some moving to Winterhaven while others as far as the city of Fallcrest. Many rumors are starting to circulate concerning this settlement, whispers of folk disappearing in the middle of the night. Some even believe that Mistwatch is slowly transforming into a domain of dread.
