Portents

Deep in the woodlands is a small town in the shadow of an obelisk. Upon this monument is a clock which has been counting down for centuries. No one remembers where it came from, what it means, but it is about to strike midnight and toll the centuries silent bell. -- Anon Guest

The clock has always been there. Attempts to find when it was built have resulted in nothing but frustration. Even the first images of Lumberhill, back when it was a simple mining camp, showed the clock. Some tried asking the Trolls and the Dragons, but they, too, did not remember the clock not being there.

It used to show millennia. Then it showed centuries. When it ran out of centuries, it showed decades.

Now? It was counting down in hours.
