The Star Haunt is star shaped castle ruin located in the Celadon Forest.
Description
The Star Haunt is a star-shaped castle ruin said to have been built by an ancient Oeridian tribe overwhelmed by madness, whose fate is unknown. Its walls glow due to phosphorescent moss and magic at night. Monsters inhabit the ruins, and creatures inside the ruins become affected by a displacement magic after dwelling there for a few weeks. In time they fade and become spectral undead. Wraiths, specters, ghosts and banshees can be found here. The ruins are rumored to contain magic and treasures. The inhabitants of the Celadon avoid the Star Haunt. Shooting stars rain down at times around the ruins.[1]
In Living Greyhawk
The Star Haunt featured in the Nyrond & Her Environs Meta-Region (NMR) adventure "The Blighted Star", the conclusion of the "Blight" series of modules. The events of this series were caused by the actions of the former Baron Bastrayne and Bailiff Radnen Gryppe of Woodwych. Bastrayne and Gryppe were seized in 586 CY by natives of the Celadon as they attempted to flee after despoiling the Celadon and stealing tax monies. They were relieved of their stolen tax monies, and driven into the Celadon. Gryppe led them to the Star Haunt, where he believed the Celadon locals would not follow them. The Star Haunt affected them, but was also affected by their evil nature thus leading to the events of the "Blight" series which was caused by Bastrayne's and Gryppe's desire for revenge on the inhabitants of the Celadon. In 596 CY adventurers investigating the effects on the Celadon entered the Star Haunt and defeated Bastrayne and Gryppe, thus ending their plans and effect on Star Haunt and the Celadon. They also discovered a devilish and ensorcelled fallen meteor that had penetrated into the dungeons of the Star Haunt years before, and was used via magic by Bastrayne and Gryppe to cause of the blight that had occurred.[2]
