I'm planing on giving this to my players when they create their characters so that they know whats going on.Village of Stonehaven    Stonehaven is a small village built near an old dwarven gold mine. The mine was long since been depleted of gold and abandoned by the dwarves, some of which moved to a nearby river and founded the village of Stonehaven. The dwarves lived in Stonehaven for 100 years before humans, running from an army of orc barbarians, arrived at Stonehaven 500 years ago. Together, the humans and dwarves battle and defeated the orcs, after which the humans settled with the dwarves in Stonehaven. 250 years after the war with the orcs, Elves and Drow showed up at Stonehaven, running from some monster in the Nerath Jungle 3 days south of Stonehaven. The monster never showed up at Stonehaven, but a few of the Elves and Drow stayed in Stonehaven, while the rest traveled north, to the human city of Pravarum. In the past 100 years, Dragonborn and Tiefling have moved into Stonehaven. The Dragonborn acting as mercenaries and spreading the religion of Bahamut. The Tiefling, members of the Deviltongue merchant family.Nerath Jungle    The Nerath Jungle is the old home to the Drow and Elves. Colossal beasts roam the Jungle. Ancient ruins lay, untouched, in its deepest parts. It is also rumored that you can find passages to both the Feywild and the Underdark in the jungle. Pravarum    The city of Pravarum is a giant compared to Stonehaven. It is the home of the Pravarum Mage Collage, The Knights of the Steel Tide, but, most famously The Grand Assemblage of the League of Eternal Discovery, or “The Assemblage” for short. It is also where the Deviltongue family has its headquarters. The Assemblage    “The Grand Assemblage is a highly respected-if, as the name suggests, rather flamboyant-guild for adventurers and arcane scholars.” – Amnon DeviltongueReligion in Stonehaven1-Bahamut-Brought to Stonehaven by the Dragonborn 100 years ago. The villagers pray to Bahamut for protection for monsters.2-Melora-Melora’s religion was brought by the elves and drow. Her followers are mostly elves and the drow, along with half-elves.3-Moradin-Has been in stone haven since the dwarves built it.4-Pelor-Pelor is mainly worshiped by the farmers in the area.5-The Raven Queen-While the Raven Queen is greatly respected in Stonehaven, she does not have many followers, only Fillith Shadowleaf. Fillith enters the city only when someone has died, in order to pray for the soul of the dead.NPCs of Interest in Stonehaven    Torinn Flamebreath (Male Dragonborn)-Leading priest of Buhamut    Lia Sharparrow (Female Elf)-Leading priest of MeloraOrsik Stonemaul (Male Mul)-Leading priest of MoradinBrandis Northfield (Male Human)-Leading priest of PelorFillith Shadowleaf (Female Drow)- Leading priest of The Raven Queen.

Not much else is known about him.    Thoradin Bronzearm (Male Dwarf)-Own the inn in town, “The Golden Nugget”.Problems in Stonehaven    For the past 6 months goblins have been raiding farmsteads outside of Stonehaven. The militia was able to push them back most of the time, until recently. In the last few raids the goblins came in riding on giant ants. Believe it or not, these ants changed the course of the raids, and the militia has been able to do nothing about it. Lou-Fong doesn’t like talking about these defeats.     The old Stonehaven mine has been a quite place. But the last few nights people have been hearing howling coming from the mines. Most people insist it is just wolves and that they will pass, but Brandis and Fillith are not so sure.    The road to Pravarum is a major trade route for the farmers of Stonehaven. Sadly, bandits have begun raiding the road. Guards from Pravarum have begun to patrol it but so far they haven’t been much help.Player Races 1) Dwarves-The original founders of Stonehaven.2) Humans-Allies of the dwarves against the orcs, now mainly farmers.3) Mul-Hey, humans and dwarves make mul.4) Elves-Refugees from the Nerath Jungle.5) Half-Elves-You get these when humans and elves spend too much time alone.6) Drow-Refugees from the Nerath Jungle, same as elves.7) Dragonborn-Priests of Buhamut and mercenaries8) Tieflings-Merchants from the Deviltongue house.</blockquote>
