High Pass

This village supports the adjacent Delaway Castle. Lady Esterian is the current owner of the castle, having inherited it from her father. She is well connected in Hardby, and is often seen at social functions with members of the Gynarchy. While she is not truly a noble, her family has had money for many generations and so the Delaways are part of Hardby's quasinobility. Unbeknownst to most people, Lady Esterian is the leader of a small coven of female necromancers; the coven has a base in an abandoned mine in the nearby foothills. The village has one inn, called the Desert Passage, which caters to adventurers and caravan leaders. The other inn closed recently due to a lack of business.
