A grim peat mound

The Tomb-bog's Mark

Not far from Marshedge, a ways into Ferrier's Fen, lies a peat mound where no birds nest and flowers will not bloom. Since the town's founding, the people of Marshedge have buried certain criminals here, alive.

Over the years, the land has birthed a spirit that hungers for the dying breaths of the condemned. It is young and eager, and can be set to work upon criminals.

To unlock it, you must:

• find a way to communicate with it;
• convince it that you will use its mark only to condemn the guilty.

The Tomb-bog's Mark

When you use mud from the tomb-bog to mark someone with the sign of Aratis and pronounce them guilty of a crime, you can place a geas upon them. Phrase it as one of the following:

• "You must never again ___."
• "Henceforth, you must always seek to ___ when you have the chance."

Should they fail to follow the geas, their life is forfeit, and the tomb-bog spirit will track them down and smother them.

Should they prove themselves innocent to the tomb-bog spirit, your life is forfeit instead.
