Harrow County

Deep in the hills and hollows of Harrow County dark creatures lurk. Some of them are forest critters like you'd find in any other place. But some of these critters are more mysterious and more dangerous than most folk might expect. Some you might even call monsters. When Hester Beck came to the county folks were pleased. She seemed to have power over these monsters and kept them from making mischief. And things seemed to be getting better; the woods a little less scary and the crops a little more hardy. For a time folk turned a blind eye when livestock started dying in Hester's presence. "There must be a trade," they might say. "What is taken must be given." But it weren't long before Hester Beck took too much. And that's when the kindly people of Harrow County took Hester's life. That was 18 years ago...
