===Henry Arlington===
Darklord of Arlington Farm. Henry Arlington was a farmer who obsessed about success. Inheriting his farm after the tragic death of his parents in a house fire, he killed his own elder brothers in a duel to secure his inheritance. He proved to be a demanding, overbearing farmer, and obsessed with successful crops; when an unexpected New Year's late frost resulted in damage to a significant portion of the crops, Henry flew into a rage, even though he had more than enough funds to weather this less-than-perfect year. In his rage, he murdered one of his farmhands, concealing the crime by cutting up his body and hiding it amongst the scarecrows on the property. That year, the farm bloomed with a record-breaking bounty.

The next year saw a similar pattern: the crops failed early in the year, but when Henry killed (in this case a stray dog), they suddenly reversed fortune and flourished. Henry became convinced that his farm would reward him with bounty only in exchange for blood sacrifices, and he began a yearly ritual of murdering some human victim and stuffing their dismembered body into the scarecrows. Over a decade of this grisly work, he soon had no farmhands left to sacrifice, and so instead he slaughtered his entire family for the sake of his farm.

That was the last straw. The grisly, corpse-stuffed scarecrows came to life and burned down all his crops, then dragged Henry out into the field and mutilated him, turning him into a fleshy scarecrow like themselves. That was when the Mists swallowed the farm.

In the present, Henry still tends to his farm as an animate corpse [[scarecrow]], only to find his labors undone whatever he achieves. In addition, every harvest moon, he finds himself human once more - and subsequently butchered by his vengeful scarecrow "workers".

Henry can close the border for up to an hour at a time by summoning a vast murder of crows that attack whoever tries to leave. After an hour, however, Henry is exhausted and must rest for 3 rounds before he can resummon the swarm. If slain, Henry remains dead until the next full moon or blue moon, whereupon he will possess one of the scarecrows in his domain and return to life. Theoretically, he can be destroyed forever by destroying all of the scarecrows.
