Oakhall

Massive oaks stand like evenly-spaced pillars throughout the confines of Oakhall. Houses and cottages have been built at the foot of many of these massive trees, with additional homes built into the branches above. It is clear that the massive trees were planted in a specific spacing and orientation for a reason, but that reason, and those who did the planting, have long since faded into history.   Oakhall once was a thriving community closely in tune with the forest and provided timber, herbs, spices, and medicinal plants for trade with nearby cities. Roese Bloodsight had difficulties convincing the town leaders to increase their production of timber for his growing city and, after some frustrations, brought in a small army to conquer Oakhall and place it more firmly under his control. The residents are forced to log and gather herbs and spices simply for Bottomborough to use and trade.   Kohavier Wolfbane acts as the mayor of Oakhall but is, in reality, the leader of the extensive militia stationed here to ensure the cooperation of the villagers. The village is maintained under strict martial law, and guardsmen have the power to demand pretty much anything they desire. Those villagers with the means to do so fled Oakhall, leaving behind those with few options or who are unable to leave for whatever reason.
