Chapter 108 Story 108 The Curse of the Crimson Peaks

Beneath the shadow of the Crimson Peaks, where the sun's light barely pierces the darkened skies, there lies the forsaken village of Draighmoor. Once a thriving settlement nestled near the mountains, Draighmoor is now a place where whispers of doom echo through the winds, and the restless dead roam the twisted paths.

The village elders spoke of a time when Draighmoor was prosperous, protected by an ancient dragon that slumbered in the heart of the Crimson Peaks. This dragon, known as Saroth, was not a creature of malevolence but a guardian that kept darker forces at bay. However, greed is a powerful corrupter, and the king of that era desired the treasure that Saroth guarded in his lair.

Now, travelers speak of the Crimson Peaks with hushed voices, warning of the eerie glow that sometimes illuminates the mountains at night. They tell tales of ghostly figures wandering the roads, whispering secrets of the cursed treasure. But the most terrifying stories are of those who ventured into the heart of the Crimson Peaks, seeking riches, and were never seen again.

In Draighmoor, the dragon's roar still echoes in the wind, a haunting reminder of the price of greed and the darkness that lies in wait within the Crimson Peaks.
