Project - Blackmoor Land of a Thousand Witches - Kampala Shrine of Obad-Hai

Kampala is the chief shrine to Obad-Hai in Blackmoor. It is about 30 leagues north-east of the tail-end of the Fler beyond the Burneal Forest. The image of the Shalm is a stone pillar painted and bedecked with greenery. Beneath him are two stone boars and the shrine is dedicated to Obad-Hai in his aspect as the Boar-God.

There is a great hall that houses the druids and their families as well as a town that mainly serves the farmers who support the shrine as well as several inns that house worshippers and visitors.

The power of the Shalm keeps the Grey and its minions distant from the shrine, town and fields of Kampala. The several dozen druids in residence are generally younger initiates and older or injured druids seeking rest.

Druidism in Blackmoor is divided with Obad Hai having mainly a male following and those who follow the balance of nature itself with more females. The strength of the Sisterhood has drawn many of the women of Blackmoor to witchcraft, though the Sisterhood also contains warriors and other types of magic-users, and the druids of nature and balance are either allies of the Sisterhood or actual members. Those who follow the Shalm are not. They are not against the Sisterhood but follow a seperate path.
