"Sinister Street..."

Sinister Street is an unusual street in the southeast corner of the town of Skara Brae. At first glance, it seems like a normal road, but one quickly realizes that there is some strange enchantment or magic affecting the region.

Whether a person's sense of space and presence is altered, or whether physically and imperceptably transported, the experience remains a mystery: a traveler perusing the street called Sinister will quickly find themselves on an endless journey, surrounded left and right by the same facades, the same structures, the same watchful eyes of buildings and its denizens.

So mind-warping is the endless stretch of Sinister Street that no traveler has ever once reached its end.

As the heroes later rediscover the ruins of Skara Brae¹, it's clear the street has remained streadfastly protected throughout the town's major conflicts, both through the magical and the sword. It is a supernatural enigma, to be sure.

"Some of the streets of Skara Brae are under a strange enchantment. We travelled south on Sinister Street to explore a back gate of the city, and found ourselves endlessly walking past silent houses, through eerie stillness in which no human stirred, no bird uttered forth the slightest song."
