Castlewell

Castelwell is a small Village located between the dark and dreary town of Doggrave and the surprisingly frost filled fort of Coldkeep. It is a village known for its stories. All great heroes and terrible villains start in Castlewell, but for every legendary success, there are thousands of quiet failures. Not a day goes by for the poor villagers that some life-ruining catastrophe does not come barrelling through. To the point, a dragon attack barely phases those who call the place home.
Outside of its stories Castlewell is a villiage much like any other really. When it rains it rains and when it shines it shines. There's a small lake thats said to hold a monster no ones seen but with enough fish its a fairly popular spot. 
Travelling too far into the woods, or down the path to Simple _Thicket will send someone straight to the fey and their friends, potenially to never return. Worse are the bandits and warmongers haunting the trails leading in and out the village gates.
There's a pub, a blacksmith, a baker and a dozen or so others who set up buisness. The nearby much larger town of Mightguard with its castle has its main road lead right through the villiage so trade with some, badly disguised, wandering royalty is common. The undead droves of Doggrave don't usually make it too far but one or two sometimes slip through the cracks and the more sentient amongst them might visit. The Knights of Coldkeep will sometimes wander through wanding warmer climates.
