A magical barrel that was crafted by a Dwarven farmer accidentally when he used vinegar he bought from a strange traveling Elven woman that carried a large jug with corks on all sides. The Pickle Barrel will pickle any object or creature placed within it over a period of 5 minutes, even if it could not normally become pickled.

Anything placed in The Pickle Barrel will become edible to any creature that could eat a normal pickle, even if the object is not normally edible.

Any creature placed within The Pickle Barrel will not perish when they become pickled, but will instead become wrinkly, soft and slippery, even when in a completely arid or wet environment; additionally they will constantly smell vaguely of vinegar.

A creature pickled by The Pickle Barrel can return to their original state with the use of Remove Curse.

A mystical well that sits boarded up at the base of a hill outside Bunda, near the ruins of a city called Freihao abandoned by its inhabitants. To most this well simply appears as any other, but should you gaze into its depths you will become compelled to dive into them. Should you do so you will become engulfed in memories long buried within your mind, memories often better left forgotten. In the ruins of Freihao lives but one inhabitant, an old woman in a two story house that lies atop the hill near the well, which she has boarded up and claims that her twin sister drowned in, despite no one ever recovering a body from the well.

A was a small city roughly 10 miles away from Bunda that was abandoned 56 years ago in the year 1320 by the remnants of its population after a plague of Inkblight wiped out most of its inhabitants. When the plague broke out the Inkblight quickly overtook the city in a matter of days, and soon became too widespread for the clerics of who lived there to handle. Not willing to risk the infection spreading to the capital King Phillip Delair Phries Enfer's father, King Ambrose Delair Phries Enfer, ordered for the quarantine of Freihao in hopes of staving off the epidemic.

Trade routes were closed and no-one was allowed in or out of the city for over a year without the accompaniment of a cleric who must cure them before they were allowed to travel away, which resulted in only the wealthy escaping the plague. Being sat atop a hill near the forest, Adora Lovat's home was isolated from the city, and consequently was not reached by the plague, as the Lovats lived off a small farm and scavenging in the woods for berries, mushrooms, wild vegetables and wild fruit. By 1328, Freihao was nearly abandoned except for the Lovats, with almost all of its inhabitants either having died, or fled.
