Bedni

The largest village north of Old Wyrmhold. Named after the poor ground that plagued settlers for many years. In the last few years (since 245-ish AC), the local Rytsar has enacted reforms that have dramatically boosted the area's economic situation. Current population is about 1,200, a mix of mostly dragonborn and orcs with a few local goblin and jazuu groups.
