==Summary==
A cool autumn wind shakes leaves from the trees as you enter the village of Wroxeter. It is said that this was once one of the largest Roman cities in Britain. Now, fragments of a great wall and some crumbling foundations are all that remains. Interspersed within and around these shadows of yesterday’s greatness is a humble village of just a dozen or so families. They watch you cautiously as you approach, men, women and even children with a bow or knife at hand, ready to fight. These villagers are hard, strong folk of Saxon heritage. These are the ones who stayed after the more fearful have fled to Shrewsbury. Yet, even in their eyes, you can see the hint of fear. This Black Wolf must be a fierce beast indeed to trouble these folk.

 Special Notes:  No maps of Wroxeter are provided for the scenario, and could have been a nice inclusion, though pretty much any English Dark Ages village would work as an alternative setting, or at least would likely include maps that could be modified to represent Wroxeter.  No description of the journal (with Mythos Tome content) is included; the keeper may wish to detail this (a minor Mythos knowledge/Sanity exchange, perhaps, and one or two [[Nyarlathotep]]-related spells or spells known by Aelfred).
-Dependence on Halloween:  Minimal - [[Halloween|All Hallow's Eve]] is mentioned as a celebration that town leaders hope will raise the spirits of the townsfolk, and a little background information is provided on some of the rituals and activities that result, but these could be adapted to more or less any local holiday/festival from history or the keeper's imagination.  In any event, no real "buy-in" or knowledge of Halloween is required to run the scenario.
+Dependence on Halloween:  Minimal - [[Halloween|All Hallow's Eve]] is mentioned as a celebration that town leaders hope will raise the spirits of the townsfolk (and thus will serve as an opportunity to get all the townsfolk together in one location for the villain's mischief), and a little background information is provided on some of the rituals and activities that result, but these could be adapted to more or less any local holiday/festival from history or the keeper's imagination.  In any event, no real "buy-in" or knowledge of Halloween is required to run the scenario.

 ===Synopsis===
 In the year A.D. 1000, the Church predicted that the Millennium of Christ would bring about the beginning of Armageddon. As if this was not enough to inspire fear in the common people, the land is wracked by the raids of the fierce Viking Northmen. In the village of Wroxeter, tales of disappearances and a phantom Black Wolf have reached the Count of Shropshire. The Viking threat and an influx of people seeking safety keep the Earl from sending his own men to see to Wroxeter, so he has instead issued a reward of 500 deniers for the pelt of the Black Wolf, while the the village leaders, seeking to improve the morale of the villagers, are planning a celebration for All Hallows Eve. It is assumed that the Investigators arrive in Wroxeter seeking the reward.
