Havenshire locations

A short list of locations all PCs might know about:

Bywater Inn – one of the oldest establishments in Havenshire, the Bywater Inn serves as the cultural center of town. It is used both as an inn, a tavern, a meeting hall and a theater. Master Thantor owns it, but for all practical purposes, Bill Greenwood runs the place.

Marlow’s Smithy – Marlow Blakenschir has owned and operated the smithy for almost 20 years. He is a good man, stern and a bit unyielding, but he is fair in his prices and satisfactory in the quality of his goods.

Temple of Aurday – The Temple is a focal point for the town. It was named in honor of Edwyn Aurday, a holy man who lived in the cave beneath the current foundation of the temple nearly 200 years ago. The temple sports a local Spirit College that houses between 5-20 students at any given time. A fairly expansive library also can be found here (though most of the books deal with theological issues). The library is run by Paurian, The Scribe, who is likely to sell clerical scrolls.

Talisman Hill – South of the river, sits an old graveyard. The graveyard has been used for almost 150 years now and houses two old crypts. The area is also home of the mystic Johnathan Strock, known for selling of magical bobbles and scrolls.

The Ahnzeen Monestary – on the Night of Fog and Fear, a strange monastery appeared about a miles east of town. The Ahnzeens as they call themselves are a reclusive lot. They allow no one in without a very good reason. Yet they do not themselves go out except to occasionally trade in town. They never speak and seem fairly self-sufficient. Rumor has it that they are an evil sect of monks and wizards from some other land yet to this day they have caused no trouble with anyone.

Castle Droth – North east of town sits the ruins of an elven castle. According to local legend, the red dragon Vraalrym torched the place nearly 400 years ago. It is now said to be haunted. Whatever the truth of the matter, people avoid the ruins, especially at night. In recent years, a species of large and aggressive wolf has taken up residence near the castle.
