Unholy Site Settlement
Settlements, Unholy Site
At a Glance
An Unholy Site Settlement has grown around a place sacred to an evil deity, cult or supernatural philosophy. Pilgrims, priests, occult scholars and opportunists are drawn to the settlement because the surrounding land is believed to favour sinister rites and divine magic.
Legacy Settlement Rules
Increase Corruption by 2 and increase spellcasting by 2 levels.
Using It in Play
The settlement need not be openly violent. Some such places are tightly ordered pilgrimage centres whose danger lies in what their inhabitants worship, protect or permit. Others are dominated by rival cults competing for access to the sacred ground.
Adventure Use
The site itself may be the real objective: a buried altar, cursed spring, ancient battlefield, divine prison or place where an outsider once crossed into the world.
