Gen Con 2025 Trinket Trading Wrapup

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew C. Durston) — Thu, 07 Aug 2025 23:53:00 +0000

Returned from Gen Con 2025 after having a lot of fun trading. Was a little apprehensive at first when I went to the Wednesday 8pm session, but the friendly folk and positive reactions to the micromaps sold me on the concept. Attended Friday 8pm and Sunday 1pm as well. Traded almost 180 of the 200 maps I brought with me. A couple lessons learned:

Maps with lots of color were picked first
Going to put the maps on a larger sheet and have it shrunk to 8.5 x 11 so that the cutting produces clean borders

Below is my trinket haul for 2025 including a very cool Trinket Trader badge holder I received from Bri in a trade for a full set of the 8 micromaps. Huge thanks for organizing and the trade. Thanks to everyone else I met and traded with.

See you in 2026!

Gen Con 2025 Trinket Trading: Into the Woods 8: Circle of Seasons

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew C. Durston) — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 01:47:00 +0000

Into the Woods 8: Circle of Seasons

South of a main forest road, the Circle of Seasons is a strange, magical construction powered by local ambient magics. Four trees are subjected to the endless march of seasons at 10 times normal speed, with a year passing for the trees but only a month passing for humans. One can camp and watch the trees bloom, fruit, color, and decay in the eternal cycle of life. Anything placed in the circle will go through the eternal cycle of life, which can be both handy and dangerous.

Bryhana Elderheart, 358, a Firbolg druid who has come to study the Circle of Seasons. She is tall and sturdy. Her face is kind, and her long, blond hair is always worn braided. Her sky-blue eyes are large, and she winks when trying to make a point. Bryhana is passionate about learning and curious about a wide range of things. She wears soft leather pants and colorful tunics. Her belt has many small bags for holding the odd nut or herb. Bryhana uses a staff for walking and spellcasting. She keeps a group of daggers on a bandolier that she is skilled in from her time before becoming a druid. Her favorite items are a series of love letters that her parents wrote to each other.

Bryhana has made quite a long journey to the Circle of Seasons. She first heard about the unusual phenomenon from an acquaintance, Celina Lionsinger, 29, a Human who thought she might be interested in a vacation to see it. Once Bryhana saw the Circle, she decided to spend some time studying it. Her first trip idea was to visit the local Elves to see if they had any information. The Elves had been studying it for a long time, but weren’t interested in helping her with any information. Bryhana then journeyed to the local magician’s guild and even the tavern in the nearest town. Discovering that most people wrote it off as just a magical phenomenon, she decided to stay awhile and conduct some tests.

Bryhana has set up a camp near the Circle of Seasons. She has already been here a month and has become more interested in it every day. She keeps daily records of her studies and hopes to publish a paper when she returns to her home forest. Bryhana has become friends with a local Elven ranger, Nerira Oakenwalker, 273, an Elf. The two of them talk about many things, including forests, spells, and life in the forest. A local Human boy, Dirk Dreamflower, 15, helps Bryhana run errands so she can spend more time on her studies.

Gen Con 2025 Trinket Trading: Into the Woods 7: Under Ground and Cover

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew C. Durston) — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 01:35:00 +0000

Into the Woods 7: Under Ground and Cover

In the eastern woods, the paths run between narrow tree-topped ridges. Cunning Kobolds have hollowed the interior of one ridge, their spell casters concealing hidden sally ports with illusion and regrown vegetation. Unwary travelers are at a loss when their path fills, front and back, with a small horde of thieving foes.

Nux, 37, Kobold, is a mage involved with the Green Skull Gang. He is approximately two feet tall and has an athletic build. He is cunning and greedy. Nux has black straight hair and burnt orange eyes. He wears a gray robe with a green skull featuring blood dripping from it. He carries a wand of illusion, which he uses to hide himself right before the trap is sprung. Nux’s favorite item is a set of small darts he won in a bet at the Elite Rats Tavern several years ago.

Nux was one of the founders of the Green Skull Gang. The leader is his best friend, Snatt, 42, a Kobold. Snatt discovered this area along the road and decided it would be a perfect spot to rob caravans or wealthy travelers coming from nearby Pesa. Snatt found a few ex-soldier Kobolds and had them dig out the ridge. They have successfully robbed three groups already. Nux knows that they will be able to use this setup one or two more times before they should move. He knows that the local guards will come and chase them out. Unfortunately, Snatt doesn’t want to stop.

Nux lives in a small ring of tents set up near the trap. He is dating Uggu, 36, a Kobold. The two of them share a tent, and when this job ends, he will ask Uggu to marry him. Nux enjoys the evenings after a successful raid. He enjoys singing and telling stories about his relatives, who were successful warriors. He gets along with the rest of the gang, but the younger members of the gang call him the “Old Coot.”

Into the Woods 6: The Tallest Abodes

Concealed from the few who traverse the leaf-covered hunting paths and game trails of the deep woods, the Sylvan Elves hide their great libraries in crowns of the thick trees far above prying eyes. Guardians and other sentinels keep watch from nests and boughs midway between the ground and the locations they protect.

Quixina Fallgift, 420, Sylvan Elf, who specializes in cataloging scrolls and books into the library for the Falcon In The Sky gathering of Elves in this area of the world. She is stately and dignified. Quixina has an angular face with silver hair, dyed gold on the ends. Her violet eyes are strikingly colorful, and most people take a second look at her to confirm their color. She wears a pale blue robe that has ancient Elven embroidery on the collar. It says, “The pursuit of knowledge is worth the journey.” Quixina uses a cane made of oak with a silver handle. She has an old injury from when she fell down some steps in the library.

Quixina enjoys her job and delights in all the unique items she gets to read. Sylvan Elves from all over journey to the library to turn in their relatives' journals, spells, recipes, thoughts, and ideas. When she receives an item, she casts a preservation spell on it and then records the name of the donor and their relationship to the person who wrote the item neatly. She also records the date the item arrived at the library and a brief description of it. Quixina only reads the interesting journals and scans the rest of the items. The Elves treat Quixina with respect because of the vast amount of information she has accumulated over the years.

Quixina is married to fellow librarian Dorquen Fallgift, a 400-year-old Sylvan Elf. They are great-grandparents to three children, Olanala, 15, Lukian, 10, and Bryra, 4. Quixina and Dorquen enjoy visiting their family for long holidays during the winter months. Every Spring, they take a vacation at a nearby lake and spend days walking among the trees and fishing in the water. Quixina’s best friend is Falee Springmane, 386, a Sylvan Elf who enjoys solving puzzles and excels at archery. Falee and Quixina enjoy doing these activities together.

Gen Con 2025 Trinket Trading: Into the Woods 5: Perch Over Ruin

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew C. Durston) — Sat, 26 Jul 2025 12:04:00 +0000

Into the Woods 5: Perch Over Ruin

A path winds through danger-filled, dense, and cold woods of the far north to end at a circular excavation against the base of a tall cliff. Here, now and in the past, various tribes of ogres and trolls gather to throw sacrifices into the bone-walled pit as offerings to their sky dragon god, who watches from the heights above.

Irob, 34, Ogre Mage, leads a small troop of a dozen ogres, trolls, and other worshipers of the dragon god. He is tall and has a commanding presence. His bald head has a tattoo of a streak of lightning. Irob has misty gray eyes that show surprising intelligence. He wears a tattered purple robe and carries a large staff made of an oak tree trunk. His favorite item is a necklace made of the bones of his family that perished.

Irob’s tribe has made a temporary camp here to say some prayers, show some devotion, and prepare for an upcoming battle against several groups of orcs. Each day for the past week, the group has visited local fields and killed livestock, and a few farmers to eat and then send them into the pit. Irob plans to spend a few more days before they make their surprise attack on the Orcs. The dragon god showed her pleasure by blessing Irob’s staff, and she would cast a protection spell on the group before they left.

Irob is best friends with his second-in-command, Euk, a 30-year-old Ogre. The two of them drink ale and gnaw on bones till the wee hours of the night. Irob has chosen Xewog, 24, as his mate, and they camp in an area apart from the rest of the tribe. Xewog is only involved with Irob because she wants pretty trinkets from him. The tribe is impressed by Irob’s spells and fears his temper.

Gen Con 2025 Trinket Trading: Into the Woods 4: Evil’s Lasting Mark

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew C. Durston) — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 23:10:00 +0000

Into the Woods 4: Evil’s Lasting Mark

A path ends at a stone platform above a tall rune-covered obelisk that taps the magicks of a ley line below. The site has been used for both good and evil deeds and is contested by the eternal foes. In recent years, when the Holy Light destroyed the Necromancer at the obelisk, his fleeing soul vaporized a swath of the woods and left a permanent, long, shadowy scar across the forest floor. Years later, the soil remains lifeless and avoided by local flora and fauna.

Rozura, 42, a Half-Orc who is the leader of the Red Sword Horde. She is slim, muscular, and very strong. Her skin is the color of granite, and she wears her short black hair in a buzz cut. Every member of her tribe has a tattoo of a red sword on the left arm. Rozura’s tattoo is a circle of swords with a larger, red sword at its center. She has black eyes and a crooked smile. Her right arm has a scar near the elbow from when a Human nearly killed her. Rozura’s weapon of choice is a long sword dyed red. Her favorite item is a small statue of the god of evil. Every day, she prays for guidance with her band.

Rozura built the tribe from the ground up shortly after she came upon the obelisk. Ten years ago, a trapped demon inside the obelisk began to prompt her to bring more people to worship him. She has followed the demon’s advice, and the group has flourished. The demon has guided Rozura to this location and instructed her to use the scarred shadow to build an altar. He also wants the tribe’s wizard, Arad, 65, Half-Orc, to tap into the ley lines to set up a ritual. The ritual will break the demon from the obelisk and bring him to life.

Rozura’s tribe has camped just outside a nearby town, Minia, until recently. The town wasn’t friendly to her group. When the demon provided her with a new place to move to, Rozura jumped at the chance. Ruzara has the respect of the tribe, but no one likes her, except Ubari, 30, Half-Orc. On good days, the two of them will spar and then share some grog. Someday, Ruzura hopes to get married and have children. She doesn’t deem any of the current group as worthy of her favor.

Gen Con 2025 Trinket Trading: Into the Woods 3: Fearful Encircling

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew C. Durston) — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 23:09:00 +0000

Into the Woods 3: Fearful Encircling

A forest path skirts around the ruins of a recently burned-out hunting lodge. The builders' actions and very presence awakened the dormant Fairy Circle underneath. The ruins and concentric circles of wild growth are now the playground of dark Fae. What is the fate of the hunters once living within? Best left unsaid.

Charpassa Galloavae, 100, Drow is an explorer who felt the call of the Fairy Circle. She is short but mighty. Her natural curiosity has helped her explore the area and send the hunters packing for another location. She has obsidian skin with purple teeth and silver hair. Charpassa wears leather armor dyed a dark brown, allowing her to move through the woods with ease. Her weapons of choice are a pair of intelligent, magical short swords named Bric and Brac. Her favorite item is a book of traps written and illustrated by Keloavid Aleneld, a Drow adventurer.

Charpassa usually explores mountains and caves, but when she sensed the Fairy Circle, she exited the cave system she was exploring and moved quickly toward this location. Upon her arrival, the hunters began to throw stones at her and called her names. That very evening, she came with a torch, forced the hunters to leave, and burned the lodge to the ground. That happened several months ago, and she has returned with a few Drow to awaken the circle to its true potential.

Charpassa makes camp as she travels. She doesn’t have a home base. Her family is long gone, and she doesn’t care to socialize. Charpassa has one friend, Xuononia Zaufek, 95, Drow. The two of them leave letters that travel from Fairy Town to Fairy Town. In the letters, the two discuss herbs, animals, and interesting plants.

Gen Con 2025 Trinket Trading: Into the Woods 2: Treebound Crossroads

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew C. Durston) — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 20:19:00 +0000

Into the Woods 2: Treebound Crossroads

One unique feature of the land is its location at a crossroads deep in the woods,

where some forest creatures have made their pathways. Here, where a path winds

through a ravine, a fallen tree has created a game trail above. Foes may lie in wait

in the shadows underneath or conceal themselves by lying flat on the trunk above.

Wartarm,37, Goblin, is a crafty fellow who runs a gang of Goblin thieves called

The Bane. He is tall, has a sloped forehead, and yellowed, pointy teeth. He has

yellow-orange skin and a broad nose. His red eyes dart around nervously, and

he has a scar on his left arm. Wartarm has long black hair that he has tied in a

bun with some thin vines. He wears dark leather armor, but pieces have fallen

into disrepair. His weapons of choice are a pair of daggers that detect nearby

Hobgoblins. His favorite item is an old, broken music box. The box no longer plays

a complete song, but he likes the sounds it makes.

The Bane have a run-down campsite just beyond the southeast corner of

the map. Wartarm has a few of his gang out hunting for food every day. He also

has a scout set up on either end of the north-south road. The scouts will notify

him when travelers are coming along that road. He then sets up an ambush with

himself and one other goblin, who will pounce down on the folk who dare to cross

into their territory. The rest of his gang emerged from their hiding spot along the

main road and swarmed their prey. This setup has worked well for the gang the

last three times. Wartarm is beginning to wonder if they should move before the

King’s Guard hunts them down.

Wartarm has a family back at the campsite. His wife, Gir, 32, a Goblin, takes

care of their two children, Lousehead, 7, and Quek, 3. They live in the largest

tent and have a variety of spoils from their successful thieving runs. Wartarm

hangs around with his second-in-command, Oafknuckle, a 30-year-old Goblin.

The two enjoy talking over strategies and drinking ale when they can get it.

Gen Con 2025 Trinket Trading: Into the Woods 1: Entryways

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew C. Durston) — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 19:01:00 +0000

Into the Woods 1: Entryways

Everywhere forests grow, there are the borders between the woods and the lands beyond. Typically, road builders take the path of least resistance and follow the border to their destination. But sometimes, a trail must go into the depths of the greenery. The lone stone wall, perhaps a remnant of an old structure or the foundations of a new dwelling, marks such an intersection.

Sylvana ( ‘Syl’) Willowsinger, 143, Wood Elf, is a woodcarver who owns The Ordinary Wolf, located in a nearby town. He is tall, lean, and has a stoic demeanor. He has leaf-green eyes and silver hair, which is dyed green at the tips. Syl can be charming, and his smile lights up the room. He wears black trousers and a yellow tunic. He carries an oaken staff that he made years ago. His favorite item is a special knife, made for carving, that his uncle gifted him many years ago.

Syl works from Wednesday through Saturday. He has carved everything in his shop and delights in making toy figures for children. Many parents receive a christening gift of a carved figure of their newborn. The business has performed well enough that Syl is considering taking on an apprentice. He hopes to expand his business this way and bring the joy of wood carving to a new generation.

Every Sunday, Syl travels into the forest to this location. The remnants of his family's house are among the rubble here. When Syl was 12, a forest fire burned the cottage to the ground, taking his parents and uncle’s lives. His grandparents took him in, but he still misses his family. Syl brings his lunch and talks to his loved ones, bringing them up to date on all that has happened during the week. During the afternoon, Syl attends the local Unity Church and spends the time praying for his lost family.

Settlements and Sites of the Four City-States -- Week 52

Compiling week 52 (the final week) of the project, comprised of an additional 5 posts (also truncated by the Holidays), this week's subject being four suggested starting locations one in each of the four City-State.

Settlements and Sites of the Four City-States #356

December 26th, 2023

Number: 356
Name: Deep Dive of Four Places of Interest: Starting Points – Part 1
Location: Across the four City-States
Population (approx.): Varies
Brief: As the concept of organized adventuring begins to spread across Aenwyld, we see the emergence in this era of supporting groups such as the Expeditionsgilde and the Adventurers’ Guild. But what causes young worthies to leave their current way of life for high risk vs. reward ratio of questing? Usually, it is due to some event rising out of the confluence of geography, history and society in their home settlements. Some sample starting places exist on the fringes of civilization as described herein:

City-State of Carasta – Thicket is a logging and hunting settlement in the deep woods on the border between ordinary forest and the stranger and magical Feystone Woods.
City-State of Ceannar – Seaview is a settlement on the sparsely populated southeast coast weathering the great storms of the Sea of Hethichol.
City-State of Noldrune – Highland is a settlement in the foothills of the northern Tuton Maug where farmlands of the north coast give way to sparse scrub and conifers, home to herders, hunters and wild things.
City-State of Taodeas – Rockport is a settlement along the cliffs of the southeast Lanu Maug where the natural and Kid-made entrances to the underdark tempt with potential of great wealth tempered with a chance of a quick death.

Geography:

City-State of Carasta – Thicket can be found well west of the City-State of Carasta, on the eastern border of the Elven-claimed Feystone Woods, and south of Feystone Approach (#24). Threats might drift out of the Ashen Expanse (#25) or perhaps even from the Sleeping Woods (#62).
City-State of Ceannar – Seaview can be found along the southern coast of Cean County a distance from the main east-west highway. Threats might come from the Everfrozen Lake (#48) or creatures rumored to live on the sea floor to the south of the Haunted Spires (#11)
City-State of Noldrune – Highland can be found in the northern hills of the Tuton Maug on the border of County Minneh. Threats might include the ancient, summoned entities of the Floodlands (#41) and bandits of Smugglers Way (#5) and Outcrop (#111) further east.
City-State of Taodeas – Rockport can be found in the hills of the Lanu Maug, northwest of Blackstone Fortress (#15) and a bit south of west from Crossroads (#54), on the western edge of Gotasi Tribal lands. Threats might include creatures of the Gap (#19) and the unknown enemies in the Diabas Cathedral (#125).

Next Article: Over the course of this week, we’ll present four different locations (outlined above) with adventure-worthy settings and an NPC of note.

Settlements and Sites of the Four City-States #357

December 27th, 2023

Number: 357
Name: Deep Dive of Four Places of Interest: Starting Points – Part 2
Location: Rockport, City-State of Taodeas
Population (approx.): 555 (Rockport and the Undercity)
Brief: Rockport is one of many mining settlements in the two ranges of Taodeas, the Lanu Maug to the west and Tuton Maug to the east. Those run by the Dwarves of the Cantons are usually entirely underground. Surface mines, like those run from Rockport, are controlled by the Tribes. Rockport is a lesser settlement, her mines not terribly profitable, so the locals, both surface and underground dwellers, look for other means to make a living. A thriving undercity has been built about a mile into the hills, centered around an old mining pit converted into an arena.

Tazzt Beltith, 153, male Drow (Night aspected Elf) is an underground fight organizer. He is tall and wiry. His gravel-gray skin is smooth except for a scar on his right cheek. Tazzt has pale yellow hair that he chops short and red eyes that know how to intimidate. He wears black trousers and comfortable tops in various colors. His favorite weapon is a scimitar, but he is very quick with daggers.
Tazzt runs an underground fight ring in the undercity arena twice weekly and once on Saturday. His fights are always well attended. Lots of betting occurs, and he gets a percentage off the top. The opponents he stocks are creatures that his minions capture from the local underdark. Local men and women are also encouraged to try their luck. The current house champion is a martial arts fighter who has defeated ten opponents. The current monster champion is a nasty, enormous hobgoblin that fights with a whip.
Tazzt is married to the fight card lady, Nirith, 130, female Drow. They live in a lovely house near the entrance to the fight ring. Tazzt pays a Human, Webster, male 24, to get supplies from Rockport for them. The people in Rockport genuinely shun Tazzt and Nirith, so they have had to resort to this. Despite that plenty of people from Rockport attend the fight club.

Threads: Rockport and the Undercity are a crossroads in the depths, all manner of Kin passing through. Many opportunities exist for young adventurers including but not limited to:

Taking contracts to capture monsters or retrieve escapees for the arena

Fighting in the arena itself
Assisting in other (potentially frowned upon) activities of the Undercity such as debt-collection, smuggling and thieving
Scouting missions to explore near the Diabas Cathedral to the northwest
Escorting mining expeditions to the Gap to the southwest
Protecting the mining operations for the owners of the surface mining company
Serving as an intermediary as required between the Guilds (Mining, Adventurers’) and Shadow Guilds (Thieves’ and Gambling)
Surface or underground guard duty (to protect versus raiding Gray Skull Orcs)

Geography: Rockport can be found at the west end of a box canyon on a trail from the main highway through Taodeas. It is about 35 miles west northwest of Blackstone Fortress (#15) the capital of the City-State. The main entrance to the mines is surrounded by the local mining company warehouse, offices, store and dormitories for the miners. The nearby hillsides feature secondary entrances both known and secret. Just downslope is an Inn, two taverns, a general store, a less than reputable healer, the stables and assorted boarding houses and residences.

Settlements and Sites of the Four City-States #358

December 28th, 2023

Number: 358
Name: Deep Dive of Four Places of Interest: Starting Points – Part 3
Location: Highland, City-State of Noldrune
Population (approx.): 478 (Highland and surrounds)
Brief: The region of the four City-States is a cultural crossroads mixing the Houses of Noldrune of the north, the Cean Peoples from the east and the Tribes of Taodeas of the south shaking off the thin veneer of the Ta’arnan Empire applied during the invasion millennia ago. When the Cean exodus reached the shores, many stayed on the east coast and slowly migrated westward. One group of Dragonborn found their way to the northern Tuton Maug in search of Dragons rumored to live in the highest hills. It is unknown whether they found what they sought, but the Kin spread across the hills forming small lairs (communities). One such lair sits on a hillside next to the small town of Highland. The Dragonborn were a quiet part of Highland until an incident led to a Knight of the Night taking a dominating behind the scenes role in maintaining law and order on the quiet streets.

Nacek Kogwen, 35, female Dragonborn, is an anti-paladin who serves the Cean Diety Aru (God of Night and Darkness). She is tall and heavyset. Her scales are the color of fire, but her breath weapon is electricity. Her eyes are dark like coal and set high above her snout. She is attractive, but her aura radiates vileness. Nacek wears clothes tailored to her size, so her dress is always on point. She carries a broadsword named Seethe, a gift from her mentor, Kricel Yorroth, 76, male Dragonborn.
Nacek spent her first ten years as a thief in the alleys of Highland. Her family was large, and not everyone got to eat every day. Shortly after her tenth birthday, her sister, Ink, was killed by a local gang for not providing protection money. Nacek vowed revenge and took out the entire gang with elaborate traps and plain old killing. Kricel watched her complete this horrible task and took her as an apprentice. From that day forward, Nacek has committed many atrocious acts in the name of maintaining peace in Highland.
Nacek lives in a small mansion with Kricel, part of the local Dragonkin lair, near Highland. Their staff consists of many slaves. An altar to Aru is in the basement, and some observant townspeople bring sacrifices of small animals and money. Nacek has three children: Oltith, 15, Arok, 10, and Olmunk, 5, by three different males. Her best friend is Prosten Bazire, 28, male Dragonborn, who runs the mansion for Kricel and Nacek.

Threads: Highland sits in rugged terrain outside of the effective southern border of County Minneh. Being outside of regularly patrolled lands brings opportunities for young adventurers including but not limited to:

Escorting merchants headed west to Foothills Market
Joining an adventure into the tunnels below the Floodlands
Exploring beyond Highland into the unmapped Tuton Maug following rumor of lesser Drakes and other flying monsters
For those of the applicable association, learning why the Shadow Guilds have been unable to gain a foothold in Highland for a quarter of a century.
Traveling with or as an envoy of the Church of Poul to see if the followers of Aru are willing to discuss the similarities or differences between their churches.

Geography: Highland sits on a hilltop on the northern border of the Tuton Maug. The town is about 120 miles south of the main coastal highway, roughly halfway between Foothills Market (#76) to the west and the Floodlands (#41) to the east. Highland is a dense cluster of buildings surrounding a large central hall, enclosed by a stone and wood palisade. The main gate faces north, a trail departing northeastward into the farmlands. The Dragonkin Lair is a similar but smaller enclosed cluster of buildings about Nacek’s mansion a short walk to the south connected by a path from Highland’s postern gate.

Settlements and Sites of the Four City-States #359

December 29th, 2023

Number: 359
Name: Deep Dive of Four Places of Interest: Starting Points – Part 3
Location: Seaview, City-State of Ceannar

Population (approx.): 1211 (Seaview and the Storm Coast)
Brief: The Parishes of the Taq’Alay’Sut cover the bulk of Cean County, with the remainder split between three other Shires, one to the east and two to the south. In the south, one Shire hews close to the main highway between Overlook and East’arbor, while the other, Storm Coast Shire, hugs the coast. The two are divided by a border line drawn from the northeast corner of Hamar Inlet, just south of Everfrozen Lake, ending at Hook Point on the Sea of Hethichol. The Shire, named for the typical weather of the deep seas, features a string of fishing and trading settlements along the shore Seaview being the capital, populated with fierce, grizzled individuals who yell challenges to the wind and waters, daring the Hethichol to do its worst.

Idra Starbeam, 258, male Sea Elf, is a monster hunter of the finest pedigree. He is slightly taller than a three-shelf bookcase and has green hair with silver streaks. His lavender eyes are quite piercing once he sets his mind on his quarry. Idra wears beautiful armor made of seashells that have received a magical hardening. His favorite weapon is a giant harpoon that sits on the front of his boat, The Sea Hunter. For close-up fighting, he wields a long sword in his right hand and a short sword in his left.
Idra loves to hunt and has traveled the seas, oceans, and even giant lakes to hunt and capture monsters that cause problems for people. He started as a boy when his uncle took him fishing, and the boat they were in was keeled over because of a giant sea monster. He almost died, and his uncle didn't make it. Idra vowed that he would hunt down the creature and make him pay. Several years later, he did just that and has been at it ever since.
Idra lives on a houseboat with his wife, Presara (Pre), 250, Sea Elf tied to a pier in Seaview. They have many children and grandchildren. Their great-grandson, Lukas, 100, lives nearby and helps Idra with his hunts. Presara operates the boats when they hunt and spends the rest of her time with the family. Seaview has been their home for a long time, and they have many friends there.

Threads: Seaview sits on the windswept coasts on the southern border of the Storm Coast Shire and Ceannar itself. The ever-present dangers of both land and sea bring opportunities for young adventurers including but not limited to:

Word reaches Idra that something has risen from below the ice of the Everfrozen Lake. He gathers a group of adventurers to accompany him to the north.
A wealthy merchant arrives in Seaview seeking explorers to search for a missing vessel along the Haunted Spires.
A band of buccaneers has landed on Whaleback Isle, threatening the passing sea traffic. The Sheriff is gathering warriors to sail south and deal with the miscreants.
Merchant vessels and some of the larger fishing trawlers hire guards.
The Sheriff hires as needed to supplement land-based coast patrols especially about Hamar Inlet and the unclaimed coast between the inlet and the Haunted Spires.

Geography: Seaview is tucked into a relatively calm cove on the south shore of Ceannar. The town is about 30 miles due south of the main road to East’arbor. The strange waters of the Everfrozen Lake (#48) are to the northwest and the dangerous coasts of the Haunted Spires (#11) to the southwest which force sea traffic into the Sea of Hethichol (first sailing straight south around Whaleback Isle and then west until the safer forested coast of Airontir Taun (#49) comes into view). Seaview’s buildings are perched on the stone of the cliffs, leaning over the docks. The waters are covered with clusters of houseboats and fishing vessels moored nearby. The largest structures are the Hall of Uma (Lord of the Seas) and the Sailors’ Guildhall (whose leader serves as either Sheriff, Town Mayor or both depending on the year and charisma).

Settlements and Sites of the Four City-States #360

December 30th, 2023

Number: 360

Name: Deep Dive of Four Places of Interest: Starting Points – Part 4
Location: Thicket, City-State of Carasta
Population (approx.): 365 (Thicket)
Brief: The protection offered by the City-State of Carasta extends about a day or two travel inland from Staplefish Bay, further along the border with Noldrune and Taodeas but corresponding less as one follows the coastal highway into the north toward Amthor. Carasta’s influence extends somewhat further but peters out beyond the middle of the Narrows. Independent settlements, most freed by the collapse of the Ta’arnan Empire, are scattered across the landscape finding different ways to maintain their viability in potentially unfavorable regions. For example, the Elves of Feystone Woods are generally not supportive of villages on their borders, except, in the case of Thicket, where the most prominent inhabitants are Firbolg, their closely allied Kin.

Adzona Ravensense, 313, female Firbolg is an herbalist and alchemist who lives in the Thicket near Feystone Woods. She is quite tall, well over 8 feet, and has long golden-brown hair that she wears loosely around her shoulders. Her eyes are a deep blue and very kind. Adzona wears long dresses made of linen and dyed with plant substances. She wears a tool belt with many tools for tending a garden and mixing potions.
Adzona has spent her entire life near the City-State of Carasta, away from Tenmala. As a child, she learned how to tend a garden. She learned alchemy in her early adult years and journeyed around the Narrows, hunting for unique herbs and plants. When she was 100, she settled down and had a family. Now, she is known as the "giant old lady in the woods." She has taught several generations of Firbolg her craft, but no one seems to equal her ability.
Adzona lives with her husband, Sarkas, 330, male Firbolg. The two of them live in a large hollowed-out tree. Sarkas built a workshop that is attached to the tree. Anyone interested in her wares comes to see her. One of her great-grandchildren, Bryna Greenrest, 101, is her current apprentice and lives in a small tree nearby. Adzona loves to write letters and exchange recipes. She currently is a pen pal with Coco Zeldred, 45, female Human in Carasta.

Threads: Thicket sits on the border of dense and strange Fae woods. The ever-present dangers of the wilderness bring opportunities for young adventurers including but not limited to:

Locals or visitors seek an escort east back towards the relative safety of the coast.
Dark Fae or young Night Elves are harassing outlying residents or local hunters.
The winds whisper that something is wandering north from the Ashen Expanse that must be found and dealt with.
A messenger brings word that the Sleeping Woods are sinking! Adzona seeks an escort to see if she can help her Kin.
Sarkas has fallen ill and Adzona fears his Doom is upon him. She asks for volunteers to hike to the Gold Mountains to find a particular rare herb.
A sharp-eyed Elven Scout reports seeing a distant object fall from the skies to land in the woods to the east. Volunteers are sought to investigate.

Geography: Thicket can be found in the dense forests to the southeast of Feystone Approach (#24), west northwest of the Sleeping Woods (#62) and directly north of the Ashen Expanse (#25). To the untrained eye the differences between the Feywood and the neighboring forest are imperceptible. Fortunately, Thicket was founded by those who could see the difference and is set well away from the Elven realm. It consists of mix of tree houses, trees in houses and ordinary log and stone cabins. Most buildings are residences with small shops on the ground floor. One large longhouse serves as an Inn as well as a village hall/meeting space. A narrow trail leads east.
