This is a setting in progress to be used later this fall for online games.MidwoodThe Barony of Midwood, in the middle of Tulgey Wood, is home to the settlements of Middleborough (where the baronal seat of Midwood Hall is located and home of the Shady Dragon Inn), Foxton on Moss (home of the Way Inn, popular with merchant caravans) and Maidensbridge. Middleborough Church, which is dedicated to Lothian, boasts a regionally famous clockwork glockenspiel depicting an idealized version of life in the barony. The barony is located in a relatively isolated portion of the Prustan Peninsula on the world of Praemal, closer to haunted Kem than to Grailwarden Keep. When barbarians sacked the imperial capital of Tarsis, Midwood was passed by. The peasants claim that Baron Nicodemus Midwood wove illusions that hid the barony, while others say they simply all got lucky. According to the baron, they are all still subjects of the Tarsisian Empire, although it is effectively an independent state.Nearby locations of note are the abandoned Maidensbridge Abbey, the ancient Tulgey Barrow and the gnomish estate known as Wit’s End.The narrow Moss River winds through the Tulgey. Its headwater, the Moss Pond, where the peasantry used to swim and fish, has recently taken on a sinister aspect, and after several children and fishermen vanished, it's now left alone, and the paths to it have become overgrown.Green Mountain casts a shadow over the barony. Once the home of Grailwarden dwarves, the green dragon Gax conquered the dwarven fortress of Glangirn hundreds of years ago, and several tribes of kobolds took up residence on the high meadows on the lower slopes of Green Mountain. Gax was seen leaving the mountain a decade ago, and was never seen to return. What happened to her is unknown.Without Gax’s leadership, the kobold tribes fell to infighting, until they were recently reunited under a single king. Those attempting to penetrate the dragon’s lair, seeking answers (and the dwarven and dragon hoards) have reported the outer portions of the fortress have been taken over by dwarven bandits, apparently descendants of the original inhabitants. No one has successfully penetrated the inner reaches of the fortress and returned to tell the tale.</blockquote>
