Hawk's Nest

Hawk's Nest is a fortified settlement that overlooks XY, built to defend the pass against monstrosities and other threats, thus protecting Doregul's eastern flank. Perched atop a rocky crag and surrounded by high battlements, Hawk's Nest is under the protection of the Order of Y. High stone walls enclose a keep and a densely packed village that includes three small temples (dedicated to Adissa, Hasnaer, and X), a blacksmith, a leatherworker, a caravan supplier, a rough-and-tumble tavern (the Spiked Gauntlet), and two cozy yet spacious inns (the Hawk's Roost and the Inn of the Silver Sword). The Lord of Hawk's Nest is Arthus Cavilos (LG male human knight of X), a member of the Order of Y. His wife Lady Fenris Agathonn (LG female dwarf mage), is the great grand niece of Lord Connerad Brawnanvil of Doregul. Arthus and Fenris have two spirited daughters, Lavencia and Eryl; one is training to be a wizard, the other a knight of X like her father. Lord Cavilos raises hippogriffs, which the knights of Hawk's Nest train as mounts and use to patrol the trade road between Z and Q. Adventurers who are looking for an expeditious means of travel can petition Lord Cavilos to ferry them to their destination on the backs of hippogriffs.
