Shearingvale Lore - Dargan's Hall

On the shores of a large pond beyond the hills south of the Lonely Cavalier lie the ruins of an estate house named Dargan's Hall. Dargan was said to be a wealthy merchant from Kalembar who liked the idea of retiring to the wild frontier. He built a sizable country estate in NR664 (43 years ago) and lived here for the last 19 years of his life, passing in NR 683.

During the time that he lived in the Hall, he was notorious for the routine comings and goings of many strangers to the area, including those flying in on pegasi, hippogriffs, or other beasts. Local legends say that the necromancer Alferith Langhorne himself visited Dargan's Hall several times in the 670's.

Dargan died in 683, alone except for some servants. On the night of Dargan's death, a great lightning storm shook the area, and seemed to be centered on the area of his estate.

The brave and curious who visited his abandoned estate after his death reported only a rapidly deteriorating manor house and outbuildings. Adventurers in search of Dargan's presumed treasure have investigated the ruins many times over the years, but despite finding some extensive cellars, they have turned up nothing of value. As far as anyone knows...
