While various towers adorn the town’s stone walls manned by viscounty soldiers, the tower located in the northeastern corner is home to a small enclave of the mysterious Silent Ones. Always garbed in grey, its members, several of whom are albinos, blind, or both, tend to keep to themselves. The local population consider the sighting of a Silent One an ill omen and thus the area nearest this part of town is unusually devoid of activity. Rumor has it that the order’s members use their arcane powers to keep various evil forces in the Dreadwood in check.

On rare occasions, locals consult the Silent Ones as sages—so long as the area of research does not endanger the Silent One’s mission, such entreaties are usually entertained.
