Less than a month ago, in the woods west of Clovers Point, the great castle of Eahlswin the Elaborate towered over the trees of the forest. Bust, just two weeks ago, a huge flaming meteor fell from the sky and exploded as it hit the castle. When a party went out the next day to see what had happened, they were stunned. There was nothing: no rubble, no signs of the impact; it was like the entire castle had vanished into thin air. Nothing was left; nothing, that is, but a mysterious flight of stone steps descending down into the block nothingness that lay below. Since the bizarre event, no one in town has returned to the site, and, if questioned about the occurrence, they become terrified, mumbling only something about 'bolide' (which in an ancient word from a long dead civilization meaning meteor). Slowly, but surely, anxious adventurers have made their way to this small, remote town to venture down into the depths and see what lies beyond the stone steps. From the few that have already ventured in and managed to return, you have learned that what lies below is a very treacherous dungeon, and it has quickly become known as the Halls of Bolide. The trail that leads to the cold stone steps can be easily found, and, you soon find yourself standing at the top of the stairs that will take you and your companions into the depths of the Halls of Bolide.
