It is famed for its pub and boatworks. The town was so small that it escaped the Vampire Queen's attention, until one fateful night 30 years ago when she established a Vampire Lord in Slough Manor.Barley Fields, Permission & Hickory Orchards: The soil of Ottswold is well irrigated by the river, and crops grow exceptionally well.Blue Otter Pub & Boatworks: A bustling, busy pub and boatworks. Its persimmon and hickory beers are beloved throughout the valley, and have attracted skilled craftsmen to build rafts, boats, and ships that travelers take up and down the river.Gray Mare River: This river is the main thoroughfare of the valley, connecting most of the towns and cities.Haunted Ruins: It is said that these ruins were once a temple to Talemai, the Copper Penny Catfish, an old god of the valley. But a century ago, the Vampire Queen desecrated the temple, and now the ruins are haunted by strange, tentacled spirits.Slough Manor: For a long time, this manor was inhabited by the Ottswolds, the family that owned the Blue Otter Pub & Boatworks. Thirty years ago, a mysterious, beautiful woman arrived at the pub and offered to fund a music contest. Many musicians from across the valley competed, but the woman declared one young man named Roland Fiddle the winner, for singing a rousing ballad damning the Vampire Queen. The woman rewarded Roland with a kiss- only to reveal herself as the Vampire Queen right before sinking her teeth into the young musician's neck. Now a loyal vampire, Roland Fiddle was installed as a lord in Slough Manor. For a time, the Vampire Queen visited him regularly, but she soon grew bored with the temperamental, lovesick musician. He has no interest in governing; as long as he has his music, wine, and vampire spawn fans, he leaves the folk of Ottswold alone.Weeping Widow's Mill: A family of halflings runs this mill during the day, but leaves at sundown. That's when the town hears the melancholy mourning of the ghost of the mill. She is the daughter of the Vampire Queen, sired before the vampiric curse took her mother. They say the Weeping Widow knows of the Vampire Queen's true weakness, and may tell those brave enough to speak with her.<img src="https://inkarnate-api-as-production.s3.amazonaws.com/MRQNVS6aCStRs69upVesSf" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
