[QUOTE="aurin777, post: 6628917, member: 10032"] [B]Nimon Gap[/B] My plan (where it stands now, anyway) is to have the players travel from Brindol through Talar to Nimon Gap, based on their initial adventure hook. It will be important to a deep, interesting village experience for the PCs in these to towns because I want the players to care when the hobogblin horde burns them to the ground on their march through Drellin's Ferry - Terrelton - Nimon Gap - Talar on their way to Brindol. The only description we have of Nimon Gap comes from the summary at the beginning of RHoD: A tiny hamlet located at the place where the Dawn Way descends out of the Nimon Hills, Nimon Gap grew up around a large walled inn known as the Cross-Eyed Beholder. The folk of Nimon Gap grow apples, pears, and chestnuts in orchards sheltered below the hills, while shepherds and goatherds keep their livestock in the heights. Here's the expanded description of Fairhill from Crucible of Freya, altered / updated to fit with Nimon Gap. I'll go through the changes to people and places in another post. [B]Overview[/B] The village of Nimon Gap rests on the largest of several gently sloping hills a few miles off of the Dawn Way, the major trade route through the Elsir Vale. Four hundred fifteen souls inhabit the village and surrounding farmland. Nimon Gap’s orchards are fertile and its populace happy, due in large part to Pelor, the god of sun and healing, and St. Deidre, the patron saint of fertility of Nimon Gap. The temple of Pelor is the focal point of the citizens of the village, and Mother Shandril Freyimm , the village priestess, is a devoted follower of the Sun Father. Under Shandril’s guidance, the village’s orchards yield great quantities of apples, pears, and chestnuts, the goats and sheep produce milk, billies, and yews in abundance, and married couples live in joyous harmony with numerous children. While the village is governed by Speaker Arlen Fairhill, the local magistrate, the true leader of Nimon Gap is Shandril. She disdains, that role, however, and openly supports Arlen as magistrate. There is little political strife in Nimon Gap as Arlen, Shandril, Captain Baran, and the tavern owners all work together to make the small village thrive. [B]Population[/B] 415 (mostly human) [B]Authority Figures[/B] Arlen Fairhill, Speaker of Nimon Gap; Baran the One-Handed, Captain of the Nimon Gap Watch; Mother Shandril Freyimm, Priestess of Pelor [B]Important Characters[/B] Lyrelle Paarth, Baran’s lieutenant; Tarnen, proprietor of the Cask and Flagon; Glarian Paarth, proprietor of the Cross-Eyed Cockatrice; Voril Groves, local blacksmith [/QUOTE]
