Location

60 miles NNW from Cragdale and 60 miles SW of True Hold. Connected to the Sea of Grass via three passes: Hope's End Pass (elevation 300 ft), Brown Bear Pass (elevation 450 ft), and Hope's Pass (elevation 350 ft).

History

Established in 220 AC by Aedron Laav-Gan, who believed that pre-Cataclysm ruins in the area were of a lost dwarven gold mine. The mines were never found and Aedron quickly went broke. The village turned to fishing and farming along the shore of the Sea of Dreams. In recent years, Lord Sumpter, a young count with delusions of mercantile grandeur bought the local patent nobility and has been hard at work converting it into a port town, attempting to break True Hold's grip on cross-Sea trade from Shinevog and Zhapai Karmap.
