Hourglass
Along Farmers Turn shortly after leaving the Quellcon Estates the hamlet of Maki has for many decades been haunted by strange phenomenon. The name of the hamlet changed to Hourglass over the years. Situated where the path leading up the hill to Skull Church leaves Farmers Turn the hamlet has always had a sense of tension. Beyond the imposing presence of Skull Church and its history there are multiple battle sites from both the Second Drillian Civil War and the Third Drillian Civil War within two miles. Coupled with the general conditions of the Craniate Wastes Hourglass has been left to be a place avoided unless necessary.
When Branwyn cleared out Skull Church to remove the threat of undead from Dragon Fen she appointed Snee Governor of the Northwest Craniate Wastes, protectorate of Dragon Fen with Talwin as her Steward. They chose to make the center of the settlement at the hamlet of Hourglass.
Snee has built up a small group of homes around her Shrine Aclim in Hourglass. Mostly a crossroads forming a T, with the shrine in the NE corner, the NW corner having some additional houses, a farm or two on the SW corner and the SE corner is the Inn of the Lost Eagle which is the heart of "Haunted Hourglass". Pete had his old encampment of tents on the NE corner and when someone would wander "south" into the Inn area sometimes they would just disappear. The grounds of the Inn contains apple trees that would have fruit disappear from.
