It was rumored that in the dim past of the nation's founding, this hill was the site of witch burnings. Even before Astoria fell to darkness, this hill in Moth Cemetery was well known for feelings of unease it elicited in anyone brave enough to scale its heights. Since the fall of Astoria, priests of the Banished Pantheon have flocked to this locale, using it as a site for dark rituals. It was from this vantage point that, for the first time in millennia, the voices of the faithful supplicants was heard by the dreaming God in His violent slumber.

It is rumored that in the dim past of the nation's founding, this hill was the site of witch burning. No official records exist that back up this legend, but even before Astoria fell to darkness this hill in Moth Cemetery was well known for the feelings of unease it elicited in anyone brave enough to scale its flanks. Scaling the steep sides of "Witchburn" hill was a common rite of passage for Astoria teenagers looking to impress their friends, though none could stand to remain on the hilltop for long. Since the fall of Astoria, priests of the Banished Pantheon flock to the locale, using it as a site for dark rituals, further lending some credence to the legend that a malevolent power clings to the place.
