Thy wounds are healed!
The Village of Hommlett - or merely "Hommlett" as it is commonly called- is situated in the central part of the Flanaess, that portion of western Oerik Continent which is known as civilized. The hamlet-sized village(local parlance having distinguished it with the greater term) is located ten leagues southeast of the town of Verbobonc, or thereabouts, on the fringe of the territory controlled by the noble Lord of Viscount of Verbobonc. It sits at a notable crossroads.
Hommlett grew from a farm or two, a rest house, and a smithy. The roads brought a sufficient number of travlers and merchant wagons to attract tradesman and artisans to serve those passing through. The resthouse became a thriving inn, and a wheel and wainwright settled in the thorp. More farmers and herdsmen followed, for grain was needed for the passing animals, and meat in demand for the innfolk.
Prosperity was great, for the lord of the district was mild and taxed but little. Trade was good, and the land was untroubled by war, outlaws, or ravaging beast. The area was free, beautiful, and bountiful - too much so, in the eyes of some.
And then evil came out of the west...
