Covenfell - Small village mostly known for good seafood and offering small port services. Each summer they have a huge festival celebrating the sea's bounty. Mostly humans but known for being friendly towards some of the other races. Strangely enough, the village has not had a baby girl in almost 10 years and some of the locals are whispering that witches are to blame. Could just be silly old bedtime stories as no witch has been seen in these parts for almost 50 years now. Life here is good for the most part, most of the business coming from the docks as many would rather come here then heading up the coast to Echo Bay. Enough cargo, passengers and ships passing thru to keep this humble village doing well for itself. With the recent completion of the new dock construction, the town is already seeing a small increase in traffic which means more money for everyone here. With new shipping contracts with Gildenvale in the making, it's possible the sleepy town of Covenfell may have a very bright future ahead of them. Things may appear good now or at least on the surface but Covenfell has a long and dark history that it tries to either hide or ignore. In a time before Gildenvale was built, this town was plagued by foul blood magics and witches. Having a history filled with witch trials, mass paranoia and nightmares walking its paths late at night. Somewhere hidden in the forest was a large coven of witches that terrorized the town, stealing babies, performing blood rituals and summoning dark spirits. Finally believing in the rumors, the empire sent military troops and church inquisitors to end the madness. During this dark time, many innocent folks where tortured and found guilty of witchcraft. Even the smallest rumor of blood magic would have your family locked up and awaiting trial without representation. Countless people were burned alive at the stake where the church now stands to keep the ground cleansed. Towards the end of these witch trials, a young beautiful woman was found guilty of witchcraft and during her trail she only laughed in her defense. As she was put to the stake to burn, she promised a curse upon the town. In a language unknown to any of them, she shouted and laughed as she bites her tongue off with her blood spinning circles around her burning body. Proving to all that she did use blood magics but for 333 days following this event all within town had violent nightmares until finally they just stopped. There has always been that creepy feeling around town late at night, strange things known to happen when it was dark outside, and the missing person reports are way higher than normal. This makes the towns folk specious, slightly paranoid and jumpy during the night so it's not very common to see anyone out after dark.
