Dockside Relics of the Blackvale

The party finds modest but fitting spoils for a level 0 Gothic harbor at the edge of the Blackvale: practical coin, trade goods, and one troubling relic that seems to have passed through too many hands. Most of it looks like the sort of cargo a poor port town would keep moving, but the medallion carries the kind of rumor that can split a tavern in half. Whether it is a safeguard against the marsh or an invitation to whatever dwells there remains unknown, and that uncertainty makes it worth more than its weight in metal.
