A hitherto unknown valley has been found in the Altan Tepe Mountains. It looks as though it would provide a quicker passage through the mountains. The entire valley, however—trees, animals, grass—is stone!
A group of merchants looking to beat the competition attempted to pass through, but returned later with tales of Phantoms, ghosts, and even stranger creatures. Less than a fourth of the band survived, and these—with a small group of other merchants—may be willing to pay a party of adventurers to clear the valley for them. The party would have to be strong, however!
