Glaivesfjord

Beyond the crooked forest...

Created by Mu

A great tale begins in this small village, deep in the shadowy, anomalous, woods of the Umberfeld, a place known only as Glaivesfjord. Here, many great adventurers have begun their journey, and will undoubtedly not be the last.
A lonely tavern, “The Halberdier’s Rest”, always sits illuminated by the cosy and inviting hearth within, like a loving embrace to those out in the cold wilderness beyond.
So, care for a drink?

History

A group of old Halberdiers from the time of the Convergence took rest in this small spot after traversing the treacherous Umberfeld Woods. There, they began establishing a small community as other soldiers begun finding refuge there. Passing merchants eventually began establishing stalls which have now become old storefronts that have been renovated into homes. Where the Halberdiers first set up camp, now resides the humble establishment of "The Halberdier's Rest", where many residents of the hamlet seek refreshment and a warm meal.

Architecture

The structures in Glaivesfjord are mostly made from stone hailing from the mountainside and timber from the Umberfeld Woods. It is in no way visually flattering but gives off a vibe of a homely welcome.
