    0101. Hlantyr the Liar: There is a small, walled castle here built atop a tall hill. The master of the castle is the illusionist Hlantyr. Hlantyr employs a retinue of ten men‐ at‐arms (leather armor, shield, spear, light crossbow) and a sergeant‐at‐arms named Carlyle, an old veteran freebooter from the city‐state of Tremayne. Hlantyr is a retired adventurer who now owns a coffee plantation in the hills between the Wyvern Coast and the jungles of Zoaka. The plantation is maintained by 35 peasants and a overseer named Todonga. Twice a year, the plantation is visited by a camel caravan from Ophir. Hlantyr keeps his workers in a perpetual haze with hypnotic spells. He is a temperamental man who despises visitors, especially other illusionists. He initially tries to frighten visitors away with illusions, resorting to violence only if absolutely necessary. Hlantyr’s treasure consists of 400 gp, 50 pp, a sardonyx worth 50 gp, a zircon worth 100 gp, a pearl worth 130 gp and a magnificent fire opal worth 850 gp.
