DM: The Blot

Life has returned to normal in Sandpoint except for a strange atmospheric phenomenon that lately manifested in the sky above the town. The strange blot has hung in the air for several weeks, moving slowly in what appears to be a random pattern in the sky. At first assumed to be a dark cloud, it soon became evident that it often moved at odds with the wind. The blot itself resembles nothing so much as a shadow floating in the sky, almost as if some large but unseen object were partially blocking the sun’s rays.

The local sage Brodert Quint (Gryffin’s adopted father) first noticed the Blot before it was visible to the naked eye. He called it an “atmospheric shadow” and it was subsequently named for him as it became more visible.
