Inveth

Inveth, nestled in the dense forest just a few miles from the coast, remains a village of self-reliance, living by its intimate connection with nature. With Fergus O'Keenan at the helm, the villagers continue to thrive, using their knowledge of the forest and the resources from the coast to sustain themselves. The village’s secrets—hidden in its mysterious groves, sacred springs, and winding trails—add an air of mystique that draws both travelers and those seeking the protection of its wild heart. While the village relies on the forest for its resources, the proximity to the coast allows for fishing and trade with coastal settlements.

Points of interest

The Gloomthorn Grove

A particularly dense and shadowy part of the forest where the trees grow thick and tall, casting a dark canopy over the forest floor. The grove is considered sacred by the villagers, and it is believed to be a place where the spirits of the forest reside. It’s a common site for druidic rituals and ceremonies, but only those with knowledge of the old ways are welcome to venture deep inside.

The Moonlit Springs

A series of clear, cold springs that feed into the nearby river. At night, the water glows faintly under the light of the moon, creating an otherworldly glow. The springs are said to have healing properties, and the villagers often make pilgrimages to the site for their restorative waters.

The Cliffside Path

A trail leading through the forest and eventually up to the cliffs that overlook the coastline. The path is winding and treacherous, but it offers stunning views of both the forest and the distant sea. The village’s few traders use this route to transport goods to the coast, though it’s rarely traveled by others due to its difficulty.

The Hunter’s Lodge

A sturdy building on the outskirts of the village, used by the hunters as a base for their expeditions into the deep forest. The lodge is also a gathering place for those who wish to hear tales of the wild creatures that roam the woods and the dangerous yet lucrative hunts that have been undertaken.

The Stag’s Hollow

A cozy inn built from timber and moss, located near the village’s main clearing. The innkeeper, Caelus Briarwood, is a quiet man who enjoys swapping stories of the forest with travelers. The tavern’s specialty is a hearty stew made with wild game, root vegetables, and forest herbs. The inn is a favorite gathering spot for hunters and trappers returning from the forest, as well as traders passing through from the coast.

Population

160 villagers, a mix of woodworkers, hunters, herbalists, and coastal fishermen.
