Thornwick, County of Ustalav
A village of 200 souls clinging to the edge of the Hungry Mountains. Once prosperous from goat-herding and pilgrim traffic to the Threshold of Souls, Thornwick has withered since the veil-tear opened in its church. Crops fail. Livestock stillborn. And every night, the bells ring though no hand pulls the rope.
The Threshold of Souls
An ancient Pharasmite reliquary built atop a battlefield from the Shining Crusade. Its catacombs hold the remains of thousands who fell fighting the Whispering Tyrant. The Threshold was designed as a "pressure valve" — a place where the Veil could be intentionally thin, allowing psychopomps easy passage. The Veilbreaker wants to turn this design into a detonation.
