Greenwood Vale

I didn't intend this to be as big as it turned out but oh well when i run it again there will be a time lapse. I'm gonna crank out more like this. Grogstop was a place to adventure in, Greenwood is a place to adventure from. Most of grogstop are murder hobos or bandits or crooks. All maps will be revised ond on the flickr page when this is finished so tell me if any terrible typos or unmarked buildings.

Im considering a character funnel where players start with teen orphans and can decide on a rotten or nice village before play.

These are based on this

Greenwood Vale
This Village is considerably nice and anyone who looks filthy, criminal, has a orc taint or like a murder hobo will be watched and probably driven away for life if the cause trouble. They have a history of letting adventurers live rent free as long as they kill local monsters and criminals and don't antagonise the dark fey too much (then they will stake you out in the forest). Troublemakers stay away and the area is a popular tourist attraction

This place is nicer than most, the kind of village you might settle in. Plenty of ruins are in the Ghostwood and Dark Fey woods only a hours march away and the locals have welcomed proper adventurers for decades. Murder hobos end up in lock up and leave promptly. If you go to church and look clean and seem honest you can stay. There are a d4-1 parties staying here at any time and 3d6 city visitors in the inns. Public drunkenness is frowned on. The Sun church deals with the empire more while the druidic cult deal with other local farmers more.

Greenwood residence hate grogstop but at least it atracted all the scum in the region in one place to avoid. They have a rivalry with Oakfen. The Baron doesn't interfere or regard Greenwood as a threat so there are no resident secret police or spies but occasionally they visit or accompany the yearly Tax man.

Most houses have their own wells and the better ones have a dwarf made hand pump making the village enviable by all other commoners on the island

Local Area

Phantom Wood - numerous phantoms have been seen here and some fear the woods are related to the great haunted Ghostwood to the South

Druid Hall - This temple is run by the chief Druid, Clayton Oaktree and his acolytes. Many of these come and go as part of their studies.

People gossip she has slept with the village priest and the druid. She has lots of staff in her mansour usually 6+d6. Servants, a secretary, petty officials and several guards who aid the Sheriff. The Mayor is not a Baron lover but respects his harsh fairness and will happily call for aid from the highway militia if any problems are too much for the sheriff. She keeps messenger ravens for this purpose and occasionally receives a warrant in return from the Barron for a fugitive. She is resistant to the Empire having too much influence also and trusts the priest Sondar to not help them as he is a exile from the mad emperor nobility.
Fertility Cult - this was the old church before the druid and priest arrived. Some say the cult was actually a front for the old reptile cult or infested by lizard cultists in secret. Granny Clawhammer takes care of it and it's idols and statue of the grain goddess. A few villagers visit still and wonder what will happen when granny dies.
