Kindleton

The town of Kindleton was founded about 80 years ago, originally serving as the base camp for an expedition into Cold-Iron Keep lead and financed by a group of adventurers, including a young man who would eventually become The Burning One. Over the next five years, the encampment attracted many settlers looking for hard labor, and it soon developed into a small trading outpost on the edge of The Shivering Wastes.

Over the next several decades, Kindleton was battered by blizzards of increasing severity, which hampered their ability to trade with neighboring towns and stemmed the flow of workers coming in. During this time, they began to lose contact with the outside world, despite still sending out shipments of bloodforged weapons every three months.

During the communications blackout, the inhabitants of Kindleton began to experience strange visions, loss of sanity, and eventually began to participate in human experimentation in the fleshsmithing labs of Cold-Iron keep.

At some point prior to the events of the second expedition into the keep, the entire population was sacrificed to the Bloodforge, with the mayor, H.H. Snowflake, being the sole survivor. This event was never reported to the public, and exports of bloodmetal continued until 4 months prior to the Second Expedition.

Recently, the town was rediscovered by a group of adventurers from Guildtown consisting of Lucien Laurent, Baine Bravehide, Incinerator Ernan, Lan'athan and Yohani Frozmyn.
