Goatswood - Hive

[avin]

Finally got my copy of DMGII. Had a chance of quick flipping through pages before leaving to work.

On Sigil's map there's a section of Hive named Goatswood.

Was it always there? What is it?

Update: on a quick google search I find it existed before 4E, where can I read more about it?

It doesn't ring any bells for me at all, so I'm pretty certain that at the very least it was never given a full writeup in any 2e book. I'm not all that certain it appeared in 2e at all actually, unless it was a throwaway line on a map or in one of the modules. It may have appeared in the 3e EttDWP module in it's section on Sigil, but I don't have my copy on hand to check.

I'm only getting a google hit for someone's Sigil based PbP campaign too. If it's new in 4e, I would assume it's taking its name wholesale from Ramsey Campbell's lovecraftian town in the Severn Valley.

Really late to the thread, but I do have more information. I was googling around to see if there was anything else about this place, but it's mentioned in Faction War on page 27.

"Refugees from a dying prime world called Ranais settled in the Lower Ward centuries ago, but the neighbourhood, called Goatswood, has since shifted into the Hive with the ever-changing borders and definitions of the two wards. These folks are fairly good natured as well as long-suffering, making the squat a friendly one--particularly by Hive standards."
