LOCATION SUMMARY

The village of Lo Debar is a humble settlement tucked away from the major trade routes. The landscape is dotted with small homes made of mud and thatch, with a central courtyard often filled with livestock and children at play. The villagers are wary but hospitable, and whispers of a former noble family linger among the aged stones and fields. This place holds secrets of loyalty, loss, and the legacy of King Saul’s lineage.

Small clay oil lamp, still holding a small amount of oil, perfect for lighting a dark space.
Fragments of pottery scattered across the ground, remnants of meals shared in the past.
