Roland's World - The Kingdom of Kern

The Mad Druid of the Wyld Wood

The Grand Druid of Kern has not been heard of in a while.

The mad druid supposedly lives in the Wyld Wood.

  • The mad druid had been hunting and slaughtering fey for some nefarious purpose.
  • The mad druid had been corrupted to insanity by some other power and was performing all types of vile experiments.

    Oscar the Rat, an "awakened" rat wizard, awakened by a "cookoo" druid in the wildwood, kept as prisoner and experimented upon for a year before he escaped to the Hamlet of Roccatore.

    While in the bowels of the Grey Citidel, Gorgonzola received a vision from a servant of Obed-Hai.

  • Gorgonzola is told he must rectify the tarnishing of the Green in Kern.
  • Independent of each other, two major druids are responsible.
  • One has turned to anti-life, the other has gone insane.
  • Both must be stopped.

    The Wanderers of the Wyld rescued, Krax, a Goblin Warlock, who had been captured by the orcs in the Grey Citidel.

  • Krax had previously been captured by the renegade goblins and gnolls working for the Mad Druid.
  • Krax was able to escape by pretending to be dead when his cell was emptied of all the other fey corpses.
  • Krax had overheard during his captivity that the Mad Druid had recently sent a corrupted treant west, towards Ovesta, a place called Red Fork, to test out a new black moss.

    As yet unexplained is the thick growth of kudzu along the southwest edge of the Wyld Wood. The vine growth extends a quarter mile into the woods where they come to an abrupt halt. Stranger yet, this the same kind of growth that plagues Rutherford.

  • There is a strange growth of kudzu vines in the town of Rutherford, whose growth is kept under control except in the poor district.
