Larn's Tower/Salfrayfields

The mage Larn is playing a treacherous and dangerous game from his home here. He has made a peace of sorts with Renfus of Stoink, being left alone in return for conducting trade with the Urnst town of Jedbridge. Larn buys food and basic equipment there that is in short supply in Stoink. In return, he sells the fragrant salfray herb from the village he protects to the north, which has been likewise left alone by Iuz's forces. Salfray is a powerful benison, since it neutralizes natural animal venoms, such as those from snakes, spiders and similar poisonous animals, but not monster venoms. A small sachet of dried herb will fetch 10 gp in Unrst. Larn takes a share of the money he receives in Jedbridge and in return has protected the villagers of Salfrayfields from attacks by bandit gangs. The people of the village themselves have settled down to a good living under the mage's rule and their marauding days are over. Many of the villagers are old men and women, and Larn watches over them protectively.
