The population is predominantly human with dwarves and halflings also represented. The village is well-known for its fruits (peaches, pears, and apricots) as well as its wool, and most human and halfling villagers make a living as farmers or shepherds.There are a few landmarks of import in the village. The first is the home of Angus Greenshields. Angus is an aging barbarian/fighter who, as a youth, found himself indentured to a dwarven master. He distinguished himself in combat in a major dwarf-hobgoblin conflict. The land on which Shepherd's Lake is built was granted to him (along with his freedom) as a reward for his faithful service. Angus' home is a sprawling manor house, constantly undergoing new construction. His wife, Molly, is an expert cook, and his children (all daughters) have a reputation for prodigious intelligence. Ansley and Aili, two of the daugters, are a scout and a wizard respectively.The second landmark is Lake Outfitters- one part fortress, one part discount shopping center. The proprietor of Lake Outfitters is an eccentruc, orange flame-haired dwarf with a penchant for godl jewelry and tattoos. He buys all manner of captured goods (magical and mundane) from adventurers, then refurbishes and resells them.The third point of interest is Saint Raphael on the Lake, a church/hospital/monastary. The clergy is divided evenly between clerics and healers. A few paladins (less than a handful) are also based out of Saint Raphael. The majority of the clergy is human, but the senior healer is a leacherous old halfling by the name of Hollis Merriweather III.The village's only inn/tavern is a sleepy little place called the Painted Cow Inn, so named because of the brightly colored statuary just outside the front entrance. Two half-elven bardic sisters (Harmony and Melody) can often be found here and are always good for a grumor or two. The inn, of course, features a bulletin board offering an assortment of adventuring opportunities.The village features two prominent halfling families. The Prettyfeet (singular Prettyfoot) and the Summertoes (singular Summertoes). The patriarchs of the families, once fast friends, are now bitter rivals. A budding romance between grandchildren of each of teh patriarchs may be an opportunity to restore this lost friendship.Chad</blockquote>
