Sorcerer of Flamecap Spire

You'd been warned of the island of ghosts in the river, but thought there might be a key there. You slew a priest and his skeletal minions, and now you've reached "the Boathouse", a place with a statue of the Sorcerer and along with floating tools building a boat. It seems too quiet...

Connected to the River is the Accursed Area, here undead lurk. Tables for Area Layout, Curse History, Wandering Encounters, Room Details and Room Inhabitants.
