Towers of the Rafter Wights

The Scour: a once fertile valley destroyed by the wrath of an angry god. The god’s anger was so great that even now, centuries after their ascension, their wrath remains. First, in a corrosive mist that blankets the floor of the valley. Second, in the rafter wights, the once worshiped eternal godbirds, now doomed to a cycle of death and resurrection for all eternity by their negligent creator.   

Once a century, the rafter wights rise from the valley floor, reborn from the dust of the Scour’s former cities. On the days of their rebirth, the wights rise above the mist before the sunlight sets them aflame. It is a marvelous sight that attracts birdwatchers and tourists from across the Metroscape. Now the time of rebirth approaches again, and one ornithologist hopes to capture a rafter wight and return home with it… alive.   

Towers of the Rafter Wights is a birdwatching wilderness adventure, featuring a toxic mist-choked valley and doomed godbirds. It is written for Into the Odd, but can be placed in any weird fantasy setting.
