The 'Orchard of the Damned' resides on a plateu in this hex,

where the hostile men of Hex 0102 from 'The Village of Urthas'

and 'Fort Thornskull' take Gaunt Man prisoners to be crucified

in the trees following excrutiating tortures. For these brutes

know that the Gaunt Men so crucified begin to fuse with the

tree and begin to fossilize. These hostiles take great joy in

the endless torture of these creatures. The cliffs howl with

the mad whispers of these unfortunates. These areas are feared

by Gaunt Men and their caravans steer clear of these areas.

Some Sorcerers risk the area seeking Component: 'Tears of the

Damned Orchard' and Foci: 'Fossil Finger of the Damned Orchard'.

Some seek the rare and prized 'faceless wailer' (The fossilized

head of a crucified Gaunt Man which has become an independent

artifact from it's crucified body and continues in endless

torment. Aside from the sick amusement Sorcerer's find in such

a relic, they can be used as a sort of magical battery.)
