Summary

The Cainhurst Collection is the common name referring to the large number of artifacts, relics, and treasures that reside inside the ruins of the Cainhurst estate. The collection's manifest is all but lost with the death of Lord Lynwick Cainhurst after rumors spread he consorted with blood demons and he was executed for heresy. Despite the loss of it's master, the collection remains illusive to most as the Cainhurst estate lays within Cainhurst Keep atop the Mountain of Bone in the Forest of Bloodbrambles. In addition to its dangerous local, the keep is still guarded by the extensive number of traps Lord Cainhurst developed as well as his menagerie of monster companions that escaped their captivity and now wander the estate. Some pieces of the collection have surfaced as well as rumors of other items rumored to still be in the estate.

Additional Information

While the ruins of the Cainhurst Estate have laid unoccupied for over a hundred years, expeditions to the caste have become possible because the incredibly territorial adult dragon Valanym, who included the Forest of Bloodbrambles in their terratory, was slain by a band of adventurers in the year 802 PR.
