This village lies at the meeting-place of the Tantras Trail and the Long Reach, which runs from here to King's Reach (via Bambryn and Sendrin). It's a rather sleepy farming center, except when cattle are auctioned and the city is temporarily crammed with buyers and drovers.

A rough plateau rises south of Orlimmin, standing like a rugged, rolling wall to the south; it's the reason the Long Reach trail doesn't go on to Mossbridges. This highland is studded with gravel pits, where diggers from Orlimmin have always mined what they need, selling any surplus for use in the nearby cities. These pits are said to hide several treasures-as well as the bodies of thieves from Tantras and Ravens Bluff who double-crossed colleagues once too often. The pits are also rumored to conceal the remains of an early high priest of Waukeen - buried upright as was the custom in those days, standing on a pile of gold bars and wearing cloth-of-gold vestments and a ring on each finger, each displaying a different gem. The total value of this burial would be 60,000 gold or more-and since the collapse of Waukeen's worship, more than one local has become seriously interested in looking for the remains of the departed clergyman. With Waukeen's recent return, all such grave-robbing plans have officially been dropped, but several locals continue to slip quietly out onto the plateau, shovel in hand, when no curious eyes are about to note their departures. Unfortunately, any marker that may once have identified the grave is long gone-probably because the graveposts of such exalted clergy of Waukeen were adorned with gold inlay and gems in those early days.

Six winters ago, an adventuring band (The Cabal of the Crown, based in Procampur) came to Orlimmin to investigate the gravel pits. A few nights later, fireballs, lightning bolts, and similar spells illuminated the night sky, apparently erupting from one of the pits. The locals came out of the local tavern (The Pickled Priest) to watch, drinks in hand, but prudently did not investigate until the next morning. They found most of the adventurers slain in and around one of the pits; the few survivors, it later transpired, did not stop running until they reached Tantras.

Those survivors refused either to return to Orlimmin or to describe what they saw. In the hands of local gossips, credulous adventurers, and imaginative bards the story soon spread that they'd disturbed an elder vampire's eternal slumber and paid the price. But no undead were seen, and vampires seldom use spells outdoors at night that flash and explode noisily so they can be seen from afar. Nor do they behead their victims, or fail to drain their blood or life essence. Locals claim to know nothing, but any visitor who reveals that they're interested in the gravel pits or the bejeweled grave will be asked to pay for their rooms in advance "just in case."
