Notes 

• Moor Fiends are the horror summoned by the master necromancer, Lim-Dul, in order to terrify and besiege the city of Korv, which borders the vast moors. Even if the fiends do not get into the city, they certainly have no problem slaughtering livestock and families whose farms support the city.
•  The fiends are clever, holding their breath and hiding in the low bogs and cold marshes that dot the moors outside of Korv. They lay in weight for travelers in order to rise and ambush in order to taste flesh and warm blood.
• They hate and in some ways fear the magical ore cold iron, which is forged by the dwarves in their mountain strongholds. Several adventuring companies will switch gear, carrying cold iron swords, axes, arrows, and bolts when they make their way through the Korv region.
