Reapers Trade Post
This trading post is a whispered trade post of legend, it’s been said that the owners built it with their very hands, a married couple of ______ who at the time were seen as outcasts in Eiru as ___ were classed as vermin under the rule of High King Ruaidhrí.
The legend tells of the high king travelling with his personal guards to Eiru’s four corner masters as he did every year. He would pay his respects to the magics and the gods to whom such magics belonged.
He and his men were forced to stop at the humble trade post to seek shelter from the unnatural thunderstorm that had falling upon them. He ordered his guards to clear the outpost of all within so he may enter! The ____ were roughed up and tossed out in the storm, they took shelter in the storeroom with the stock where the male ____ found a scythe and hooded cloak. He remembered the lore he had heard of a hooded angel of death some called the grim reaper others called the ferryman. He waited until the moon was high in the sky; then snuck into back into his trade post and killed the personal guard while they slept before he and his partner found the sleeping high king and arranged the heads of his guards around him. the thunder clapped waking the king to find the reaper standing over him offering him a message off doom. The reaper told him to change his ways or go the way of his guard. The King coward away from the Spector whimpering he would do as he was told repeatedly telling the angel of death he would change and with a flash of lighting the reaper was gone. the King fell over the heads of his guards to get out of the trading post saddling his mount and making haste to the nearest city/town/village telling of his tale at the trading post. Later when others came to see if the stories were factual, they found the heads of the personal guards behind glass cases and the owners were not scared of the reaper, in fact, they welcomed its presence.
This opened more and more trade routes from them as many wanted to hear of the legend and see the place that scared the much-disliked High King.
