The Glimmering Menhir
The menhir’s magic is stirring and corrupting local wildlife, threatening nearby villages.
- Runed colossal menhir emitting cold blue pulses
- Scattered fragments of crystal with faint residual magic
- Hilltop vantage with gusting, chilling winds
- Ghostly wraiths tied to the menhir's magic
- Occasional opportunistic kobold outcasts
- The menhir is a dormant focus for ancient wyrd magic, reactivating during lunar eclipses
- A hidden cavity beneath the base contains an old journal in Draconic detailing lost rituals
- Small cache of enchanted crystal shards usable for crafting
- Ancient rune-inscribed silver bracelet (minor magic item)
The menhir is tall and jagged, dominating a windswept hilltop surrounded by scattered broken stones and shards of polished crystal. The runes are faintly magical, remnants of a lost age of wyrd sorcery. Locals regard the site as a place of ominous power and occasional strange lights.

You stand before a colossal, weathered menhir shimmering faintly under the moonlight, etched with ancient runes that pulse with a cold, blue light.
GM Notes
- Use cold, eerie ambient sounds and flickering lights to enhance atmosphere
- The runes can be deciphered with Occultism or Arcana (DC 25) to learn about wyrd magic
- Wraiths become hostile if relics are disturbed, otherwise they may offer cryptic warnings
