Unrest in Sunnyvale
"There once was a mayor that was cursed," sings the Undead Bard in Sunnyvale as he is bound to for all time. Should you approach him, he is not hostile like the others in town, and actually recants his memories of what transpired the fateful day and warns adventurers of trouble to come.
In the past, Hesper Figger (the mayor of this accursed town) was rumored not to be the most honest or caring man. Instead of using his power to benefit the town, he selfishly used it to advance his strength in the necromantic arts. What was to be the final hurrah and his ascendance into power was just the opposite, the Mayor and the town's condemnation to walk this little slice of Norrath forever in undeath.
While this is a tragedy in and of itself, the most upsetting thing started recently. Hesper has been seen again in his study, returning to his tomes and chanting. What could he be planning?
A traveling merchant that was passing by spent some time conversing with the bard and reportedly walked away shaking his head and muttering, "Those poor townsfolk, and that horrible rotten mayor...from a distance I simply thought they were a bit scrawny and in need of food, that is why I approached the town." Unfortunately, he wasn't very careful about where he was going and angered some of the other undead villagers and was last seen running away screaming with a swarm of bone and rotting flesh following.
When the Undead bard bids you farewell, he advises you of an uprising to come. What dark force will come for us? Perhaps you should travel to Sunnyvale on Halloween to see for yourself...
