AT A GLANCE: The village of Corm Orp
is a flea-speck on the road between
Hluthrar<sp=x> and Hill's Edge, with about 15
permanent buildings.  The low hills to
the east of the town are dotted with
hobbit burrows, dominated by a
goodly-sized structure emblazoned
with the symbol of a butterfly.
 

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: This tiny village
is known for its large resident population
of hobbits, who live amicably with
the few human inhabitants of the place,
despite the fact that the village's Lord,
Dundast Hultel, is human, as is the village
militia.  The latter fact is one that
most native hobbits, preferring to see
some one else fight their battles, are quite
comfortable with. <village=hamlet>

Hobbit Priests of rank dwell in Corm Orp,
making the AREA a common well-known
gathering-spot for the race.
Many hobbits converge on the hamlet
each Shieldmeet to do business with
their fellows, TRADE native goods, and
TRADE tales.

Corm Orp's notable export (other
than hobbits) is a type of stout pottery.
Made of simple red clay in large, usable
forms, the pottery of Corm Orp is in
common USE throughout the Realms for
everyday functions, and is highly thought of.

GAME INFORMATION: Corm Orp's
Lord is Dundast Hulrel, a Hero
human fighter of LN alignment.  He is
friendly and tolerant of the little folk
who infest his town, and in particular
encourages the gathering at Shieldmeet
as a way to bring more visitors (and
more money) into the AREA.  His militia
numbers 30 members, all Vets.
Their armor is chain mail and their
weapons are swords and short bows.
The militia are identified by strips of
green-colored cloth worn on the right
arm and left thigh (the latter for better
identification by the hobbit population).

A laarge (by hobbit standards) temple
to the deity Sheela Peryroyl has been
constructed in the hills overlooking
Corm Orp.  Its Matriarch is Allyia
Macanester, originally of Eveningstar.
Allyia is a 10th level High Priestess with an
incredible 20 WIS, and is much venerated
and loved by her followers.  She
is served in the temple by:

    4 Curates,
    8 Priests,
    16 Acolytes.

Most noted of the potters is the SHOP
of Ilvn Makepeace, whose work is
regarded as superior even alongside
the sturdy pots the AREA is famour for.
Makepeace's SHOP  uses a staff of 6
hobbit apprentices.  His work
sells for 1-5 sp per piece, which is 10
times that of normal pottery.
