When our group of heroes visited Winterhaven, they found a picturesque, sleepy little walled village.   The guards at the town gate eyed the dragonborn and elves suspiciously, but allowed them to pass unmolested into town.  The town was pretty quite in the morning, but some farmers busied themselves unloading their vegetables and chickens to sell in the open air market.   Hyksos the dragonborn stopped to talk to an elven girl selling wild flowers from a cart at the market, and even bought some flowers from her.  It was lucky he struck up conversation with her, as it turned out that the flower girl, Delphina Moongem, sometimes ventures up the foothills and into the woods searching for wild flowers.   She warned Hyksos that the Shadow Keep is now inhabited by goblins, and that the kobold brigands seem to live somewhere near the waterfall in the woods not far from town.The heroes bought supplies from the town’s dwarven blacksmith, Thair Coalstriker, who bitterly complained about the new “Grande Shoppe”, and its proprietor, Bairwin Wildarson, who used to buy many shovels and picks from the dwarf, but now only steals away his customers.  The heroes then visited Wrafton’s Inn.  They were greeted by the friendly innkeeper, Salvana Wrafton, and questioned Eilian the Old, to ask the grizzled old farmer for the whereabouts of Lilith’s father, Douvan.  The group learned that Douvan obtained the directions to the dragon burial site from Eilian the Old.  Eilian happily offered to draw them a map so they could follow in Douvan’s footsteps.  Before leaving town, however, the heroes visited the tower of the sage, Valthrun the Prescient, and learned a little bit more about the divination scroll carried by Xandir the wizard.   The group also visited Lord Padraig, the town’s leader, who offered (after some negotiation) to pay them one hundred twenty-five gold pieces for ridding the town of the threat of the kobold brigands.</blockquote>
