Timberswade
Timberswade is a modest Daoine village port situated east of Winterglen Forest in the Kingdom of Down. Nestled along the banks of the sea, the village thrives as a crucial waypoint for trade and travel, with small wooden docks that host both fishing boats and merchant vessels. Its simple but sturdy architecture reflects the village’s practical nature, with timber-framed houses and buildings constructed from the very woods that surround the area.
The village is ruled by Barum Carby McGwire, who is loyal to King Markos Finhold of Caer Allegain. The barum maintains order and ensures that the village remains a loyal and prosperous part of the kingdom. Under their leadership, Timberswade serves as a vital link between the kingdom’s heartlands and the coast, particularly for those who wish to avoid the dense Winterglen Forest.
The village is deeply tied to Midone, the goddess of merchants, commerce, and roads. Traders and travelers passing through the port often offer prayers to her, seeking her favor to ensure safe journeys and prosperous business deals. The people of Timberswade maintain a small temple dedicated to Midone near the center of the village, where both locals and visitors pay homage to her, offering coins or tokens of their trade to honor the goddess.
While Timberswade is a bustling port, its proximity to Winterglen Forest gives it a somewhat mysterious air. The villagers have learned to respect the forest and its inhabitants, particularly the reclusive wood elves of Eyma Shaeras, and many believe the fey magic of Winterglen occasionally spills over into the village. Strange lights are sometimes seen on the outskirts, and travelers passing through the village often share tales of eerie happenings along the roads that border the forest. The people of Timberswade are cautious of these tales but also view them as a reminder of the delicate balance between their world and the fey.
Despite these occasional uncertainties, Timberswade remains a peaceful and prosperous village.
