Village of Thornford

Village of Thornford
  • Thornford is a small, rustic village catering to local herders and travelers between Arabel and the road heading east to the Dalelands.
  • Layout The village is nestled in a small valley, surrounded by rolling hills where sheep, goats, cattle, and horses graze on lush grass amongst patches of forest. The quaint town square is centered around a communal water well. Cobblestone paths radiate from the square to various parts of the village.
  • Buildings The houses are modest, mostly one or two-story structures with thatched roofs and whitewashed walls. Some homes have small gardens in front, where villagers grow vegetables and herbs.A few buildings stand out for their size or purpose, including a blacksmith's forge with its ever-present smoke, a cozy tavern known for its local ale (the Red Dragon Inn), and a small chapel with a beautifully crafted wooden door.
  • Surroundings On the outskirts, small fields and pastures are dotted with grazing livestock. The nearby woods provide the village with timber and game, while a small river that winds near the village offers fresh water and fishing opportunities.
  • Community The villagers are a close-knit community, often seen going about their daily tasks, chatting with neighbors, or gathering in the town square. Children play in the lanes, while elders sit outside their homes, enjoying the fresh air and keeping an eye on the village's comings and goings.
  • Atmosphere Thornford has a tranquil and friendly atmosphere. The air carries the mixed scents of fresh earth, blooming flowers, and the occasional whiff of baking bread or a working forge. At night, the village is quiet, with only the gentle hum of nature and the soft glow of lanterns illuminating the paths.
