Built for a party of about level 7: random treasure here is rolled for that level.

Places

The Abbey of St. Markovia: A walled stone abbey on a shelf of the mountain above Krezk: a church wing, an east wing of old wards, a bell tower, a cart shed and a walled garden. Built by a saint for the sick and the motherless; kept now by the Abbot and the Belview family he has been improving.
The Abbey Garden: The abbey's walled kitchen garden, gone to frost: raised beds of black stalks, a tool shed, the nuns' little graveyard in the corner, and a row of scarecrows along the north wall that the Abbot stitched himself.
The Church of St. Markovia: The abbey's church: a nave of plain pews, an altar on its step under a great gilded sunburst, the Abbot's bare cell on one side and the sacristy on the other. Where the Abbot works, prays and means to wake his bride.
The Wards of St. Markovia: The abbey's east wing: the Belview family's warren in the old kitchen, the infirmary hall, the foundling ward where the abbey once raised the valley's orphans, a row of barred cells, the matron's locked room, and the surgery where Vasilka lies waiting under a sheet.
