History
It was the ground zero of the Calamity.

The Mighty Nein rode through the Ghostlands and into daylight, reaching the edge of the Barbed Fields. At sunset, Caleb notices the badly-injured Beau and tells the party that he needs to stop for the night and makes Frumpkin a vulture. At dusk, the moorbounders abruptly stop and sniff the air, and they see a person sitting next to one of the trees. Caduceus determines it's not undead; but when Frumpkin goes to investigate more closely, it wails mournfully and dashes toward the party.

The creature, one of The Lost of the Sorrowsworn, is attacked by the party and their moorbounders and is soon joined by three more and a swarm of bats. Two are killed by Jester, two by Beau and Fjord takes out the swarm of bats. They set up the dome for the night and decide to Speak with Dead on the two heads taken from the Overcrow Apothecary. After getting the information they needed Jester sends a message to Maruo, Yeza, and Marion. They spend the night under the dome.
