Houndmoor
A damp smell hangs in the air around Houndmoor, sitting in a large bowl of the land the ground is always wet and boggy. The entire town is built on wooden stilts which keep the houses dry. Roads and paths are elevated too resembling a ships pier. Heavy fog is common often restricting vision to less than 50 feet and sound carry's extremely well, many citizens have grown used to the sound of wolves howling at night but it is unnerving for visitors.
