This place has an 8
foot high stone
wall and a heavy gate. It is obviously the residence of some well-to-do folk, and easily defensible in times of trouble. |
This is the home of the village elder,
his wife, <Hestahas>
and their 4 grown sons. 2 of the
sons are married, and their wives and 3
children live here also. The elder is a
retired
farmer, and his sons now care for the fields
&& livestock. All of his sons have
horses,
<heavy,
heavy,

and are very proud of their status. 2 servant
girls and a hired farmhand are quartered
in the stable loft.
All the inhabitants are of the Old Faith.
The 4 sons and the hired hand are members
of the militia. In the event of attack
villagers
nearby seek safety in this compound.
The elder is quite wise and greatly
respected. He heads a council whose other
members (in order of seniority) are—
Jaroo, the druid
of the Grove (24)
Terjon, chief cleric
of the church (20)
Elmo's father, Captain of the militia (2)
Ostler, the Innkeeper (7)
Mytch, the Miller (22)
Burne, the magic-user
(31)
Rufus, Burne's associate (31)
The latter 2 are new arrivals to the
council.
The elder is also the Justice of the Peace.
Once each new moon, he holds a village
meeting to hear ideas
and complaints.
In a secret compartment in the bedroom
is
an iron box
which contains 428 gp, 100 pp,
and 4 pieces of jewelry (worth 400, 900,
2000, and 5000 gp). <wrought silver goblet:
