The village consists of mostly single story buildings of timber construction. A mainstreet runs through the center. Around the village is a low earth wall, and around that a ditch, over grown with brambles. A reasonably effective deternant, except that there is at least one track through the brambles that you can see - somebody's shortcut no doubt.The guard at the gate eyes you warily, no doubt wondering why you came overland rather than up the road. But he takes you up the mainstreet to one of the few two story buildings. It is the town hall. There he tells you to wait while someone sent to get the reeve. Others also arrive, and by the time the reeve arrives, there is small crowd in the open area of the hall. Some oatcakes are produced, and some water. Finally the reeve ushers you and a few others upstairs to the town chambers. Also there are the guard Sergeant, the Landcarl, a couple of merchants (who sit on the council), a Lady's Handmaiden and his companion, and the Justicar.The reeve silently reads the letter that Nate gives him.</blockquote>
