Population: 130 (1,100 if outlying farms and ranches are included)

Government: The town is ruled by a
council of elders. Ardanac Harpell (NG 9th
level magic-user) is the chief eider, a member
of the Lord's Alliance.

This tiny agricultural village is home to the
Harpell family which has produced a number
of influential mages in the North (including
Malchor Harpell who now splits his time
between Longsaddle and Waterdeep).

The village Elder, Ardanac Harpell, dwells
in the "Ivy Mansion," the Harpell?s ancestral
home, high on a hill in the center of
Longsaddle.

The village has a daily farmers' market, a
way-stable, a stirrup maker and bell-caster,
and The Gilded Horseshoe, an inn noted for
its hospitality and its defensible wooden palisade.

Local stories say that griffins are bothering
Longsaddle, preying upon cattle, horses
and longriders who stray too far from local
ranches.

Economy: Longsaddle is noted for beef
and mutton. Large ranches continue to
expand, encroaching further into monsterheld
frontiers.

Militia: Longriders (ranch-hands) from
surrounding estates can be summoned to
form a militia of 100 men. Most fight with
spear, bow or lariat.

Problems: Griffons living nearby have
slain the residents of several farmholds. Orc
and Griffon tribe Uthgardt raid the herds.
