Preston

Background
Preston is a fishing town on the north east coast of Ettinvale, historically used as trading hub between the Humans and Elves. Due to this, the majority of the population are Humans, despite being on the Elven continent.

History
A month before the Heroes arrived in Preston, a man named Mason Silentdawn purchased the mines north of the town. He returned several days later with bags of gold, offering to pay for the townspeople to move to Chandar and live lives of luxury. Having built the town over generations, the inhabitants refused his offer, and decided to stay in Preston.

Taking this as an insult to his pride, Mason summoned a Spined Devil to wreak havoc on the town. It infected the inhabitants and turned them into Ghouls, whilst also creating a magical fog that shut out sound.

The Heroes killed Mason and the Spined Devil, freeing the town from their reign of terror. Soon after, trade began to flourish and the area was rebuilt into a more secure and enterprising place.
