Shearingvale Lore - Kelwin's Gorge

A few hours' easy walk south of Grainger is a dead end canyon filled with swampy lowlands. The gorge is named for Kelwin, a local hero of days gone by. Kelwin was the warrior leader of an adventuring band known as the Company of the Red Sash based in Linden approximately 30 years ago.

Linden - East Detail (Hexographer, 1 mile scale)

The Red Sashes had some success in plundering the Elder ruins of the region, and lived the high life in Linden. This brought them to the attention of jealous rivals. On an otherwise peaceful summer evening, the Red Sashes were crossing the grasslands near the gorge, returning from an expedition into the eastern Greenreach Woods, when they were ambushed by a group called the Fists of Vengeance.

Kelwin's Gorge (Hexographer, 1 mile scale)

In a running fight across the plains toward the gorge, the Red Sashes were killed one by one until only Kelwin remained. In desperation, he fled into the swamps and was never seen again.

In the many years since, many have searched the swamp, seeking to find the magical Elder armor that Kelwin was known to wear, and the mighty sword Frostcleaver that he was known to wield.
