Black Meadow

 is a wilderness area in Pillars of Eternity.

Background
A stretch of wilderness blasted to ash by dragonfire, it is still the final resting place of three dragon skeletons, long since bereft of flesh.

Points of interest

 * The area is divided by the road into three distinct parts: The southern half, the north-western quarter, and the north-eastern quarter.
 * The north-western quarter contains one of the dragon skeletons the area is known for, as well as a pair of forest trolls and a bandit camp tied to The Smith's Shipment, with a tattered note and the shipment crate.
 * The north-eastern quarter has a pair of forest lurkers protecting an old shrine with some loot (fine wand is the most attractive).
 * The lower half contains a spider-infested camp in the center (there's a nice fine warbow among the corpses)

Characters

 * Bandit Leader: A bandit barbarian in the center north section of the map, along with several other bandits. Guards the quest objective for The Smith's Shipment.
 * Falanroed: A dragonslayer that can teach the technique Scale-Breaker. She will only show up if you are on the final stages of The Master Below and were requested to find her during the quest.
 * The Dweller: Upon accepting the bounty, it spawns with a coterie to the north-east, just near the second dragon skeleton.
