  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    People say there is treasure hidden on a low hill called the "Rock of Scar", which is covered with rocks and bushes.
    It is buried under a huge stone around which, are growing large sceacs.
    Nobody knows who hid it there.
    One attempt has been made to unearth it, but without success.
    The treasure consists of silver.
    Treasure has never been discovered in this district.
    There is a ghost guarding it, and a mass-path leads by it.
