Between wild feral bugbears wielding weapons made of bone and a pair of creatures that looked like a cross between a lizard and a chicken(and might have been mating so hence their irritation at the party tromping near their nest), your trip has had it's share of stories to tell.But now you stand on the outskirts of Fair Haven, the first elven village to be built in over a 1,000 years, and the first to be built so very far outside the protection of the elven forest. Although Fair Haven is still considered to be well inside the kingdom of the elves it is a lot closer to the capital city of the humans living nearby than that of the elven court. It is also the only known elven settlement to be nestled near the Great Northland Sea.Seafaring elves?! who would have believed. But even after centuries of living a life nearly perpetually land-locked some elves have decided it was time to evolve. It came about soon after the great battle at Hannor. Humans seeking new lumber for shipbuilding ventured to far into the elven woods and they paid the price for their folly. Soon after a great army came to the outskirts of the elven border, at it's head a begriefed father who had lost two sons whom where with the lumber expedition. The battle was a long three days of skirmishes followed by one long day of battle. Neither side wished to continue after that bloody day and a truce was called. During the next week during days of long talks of leaders and longer waiting of soldiers a compact was reached.The humans would withdraw back into their lands and wait for the elves to start up their new profession as lumberjacks. For who better to know which trees to bring low and which to nurture and keep, but the elves. And so still in it's infancy the elves have gone into the business if trading lumber. Log-riders bring the freshly cut trees down river to be shipped across the sea. Fair Haven was built as the operation grew. As workers came to the village to build the first merchant ship, The Nymph's Kiss, and loggers came to need a place to rest a month or more before taking the long walk back up river the village grew.Now a population of five-hundred and fifty souls eat, sleep, and work in the growing town. Five-hundred and fifty souls that seem on edge as trouble after trouble seems to plague them at every turn. Trouble everyone hopes a small group of heroes can can bring to an end.OCC: The above is fluff to get you all in the mood, nothing is related to the adventure itself.</blockquote>
