Heggem

Heggem was previously known for its mines full of topaz, aquamarine, tourmaline and other treasures. Thanks to the Heggem Colossus not migrating for a long time, the tribe that lived there has made its name through trading and creating jewelry (i.e. Jenny’s Ring was made here). However, on the other hand, this led to the minerals in the mines being completely exhausted. From the items’ descriptions it’s clear that Disciples had no other resources to live off and had to trade with other tribes.

Suddenly the Colossus started losing its light and moving, as it’s believed on the lands of Solas, towards the legendary Colossal Grave.

At a certain point during this time, Ramones came to Heggem and took over the village. He was a member of Ascetics - a branch of couriers who improve their tolerance of pain through self-mutilation - and was known for his sadistic behavior.

Later a mysterious witch showed up in Heggem and spent a couple of months there. From the words of the Disciples, it’s when the light of the Colossus began to fade.

With the situation only worsening over time, Ramones told villagers to hide in the mine with a glittering Shard of Crystal that could keep the Marred away. Unfortunately, soon after that the Crystal Debris was stolen by a woman who went outside looking for her lost son Jerry, leaving the people in the mine to die of contamination.
