Starting Location: Gunnhildr

Gunnhildr is a thriving community of about 1,000 people, nestled at the edge of fertile farmland and rugged wilderness, with the imposing mountains framing its eastern horizon. Surrounded by danger but brimming with resilience, Gunnhildr stands as a testament to the strength of its people.

The town's most prominent feature is its ancient wooden bell tower, a relic of its founding days. The bell, long silent, once tolled to rally the town against external threats. Today, the tower rises above the bustling community hall, where locals gather to share tales, debate local matters, and celebrate seasonal festivals. On fair-weather days, townsfolk flock to Brannach Hill, where a sunken amphitheater hosts plays, songs, and stories passed down through generations.

Gunnhildr's farms are managed by hardy families, including the dwarven MacGrunndal clan, who have cultivated the surrounding land with their signature industriousness, and the Finnory family, known for their herds of goats and pigs. The Calvyrns, once prosperous, now struggle to maintain their shrinking farmland.

The people of Gunnhildr value tradition, storytelling, and community. Figures like Toran MacRaithe, the town’s pragmatic mayor, and Eilidh Greenthumb, its alchemist and healer, serve as pillars of the community. Travelers passing through often find themselves entranced by the halfling cartwright Colwyn Lightfoot, whose loft is home to lively games of chance and exaggerated tales of Gunnhildr’s history.
