History[edit]
Local colour[edit]
Once upon a time, Ebon Eaves was involved in government projects and was nicknamed "The Brain Trust". The administration discarded them once their work was complete and left them to their own devices. The town is an oddity. It is in a sad state of disrepair, with many of the stores on Main Street boarded up and vacant. There is one boarding house open to the few travelers who pass through.
Town lore[edit]
A hundred years ago, a wagon train carrying gold and its armed escort disappeared somewhere close to where Ebon Eaves stands today. No one knows exactly where. The locals generally don't pay it much mind, but every so often someone gets swept up in a gold fever, sells all their goods, and goes off into the hills trying to find the treasure. No one ever comes back. Since the most recent outbreak, people keep an eye out for folks showing The Signs, and have to physically restrain them from going. Sometimes the fever passes, sometimes they swallow their own tongues and suffocate. Water and soil samples indicate nothing abnormal, though Blake's Pharmacy does a booming business in therapeutic aids. Folks still drift through hoping to strike it rich by finding the lost gold.
