Helbenik
The town of Helbenik is in the kingdom of Holding. South of the town is the great Trollfang forest. To the west is the massive Darkstone mountains. Northeast is the ancient Boundless Swamp. A day’s travel northwest is the port city of Nasroc and far southeast is the great capital city Tides. The road to Tides stays a mile away from Trollfang forest, which makes the trip there take 3 days by road.
Helbenik is a walled town, as all places of civilization are within Holding. Over the years, many have grown to wonder why the town was built in the location it is. There is constant fear that something from the forest or the swamp will decide to attack the town. None can say why no harm has come to the few farms outside the walls beyond some minor instances, which proved to be people from the town itself, rather than outside forces.
