The Verstglade is a valley hidden within the southern end of the Ashkeeper Peaks.[1]

Description[]

Verstglade is hidden within the tallest peaks of the Ashkeepers. There, a blighted forest of leafless trees grows, and undead abominations stalk the woods.[1]

History[]

During the Age of Arcanum, the lich Vecna constructed a laboratory hidden by illusions within the Verstglade. He used the region as a testing ground for his arcane and necromantic experiments. He was banished before his creations there could be released, and his aspirations for godhood left his plots for Verstglade forgotten.[1]

Trivia[]

  • Vecna's laboratory in the Verstglade may be where Delilah Briarwood was lead to by her visions, and where she made a deal with Vecna to learn how to resurrect her husband Sylas as a vampire.[2]
