Village of Melforten
The people of Malforten are few in number, but sturdy folk with
many a stout heart amongst them.
Knowing they were settling
at the edges of the kingdom of Eldoria and far from
help if ever there was need, those who came here were of the
uncommon and daring type.
Lacking support otherwise, the
people of Malforten have banded together and fought off many
a wild beast, bandit, and raiding goblin. They even managed
to defeat a marauding band of ogres before it lay waste to
surrounding farms.
They are proud of their independence from
the Empire and their capacity to care for their
own. This is why they consider their current position with not a
little embarrassment.
Malforten lies in the East March. This frontier region is known
to be open to raiders, bandits and other nefarious creatures
who fear no retribution from the West; so many villainous
malcontents and upstarts thus come here to raid and, with each
passing success, act with ever more audacity.
Now Malforten has come under a more dire and grievous
threat than ever before. A vicious gnoll warrior, Gritznak the
Bold, has com.
His band of raiders has
encroached ever more often upon the steads of Malforten,
taking cattle, grain stores, and stealing away a few residents for
slaves or worse.
Though the men of Malforten have attempted to locate, trap or
capture Gritznak, they have failed each time. Each failure has
emboldened Gritznak to greater depredations, culminating with
his coming to Malforten and demanding tribute.
