Honey Crest
Honey Crest sits in the middle of the Honeyvale. Its main trade is the honey produced in farms throughout the vale and brought to the town for selling and export. There are two gates into the town: the North gate and the East gate.
A large section of the western half of town was destroyed when the dao, [NAME], melted through the northern wall and summoned a rock elemental which proceeded to rampage through the wooden tenements until pinned down by the guard and eventually defeated by an adventuring party. [NAME] proceeded to burrow into the Mayor's basement, further damaging the area.
At the east gate, a market meets every midweek to trade in the market square, although it is also busy throughout the week with travelling traders. Off the square are the Farmer's Association and Merchant's Guild. Also situated here is The Cherry Blossom Inn. The large permanent tent structure near the inner walls is the farmer's pens/butchery.
A Mage House is situated in the southern part of town, near the Temple of Telia and the Mayor's House. A sage, Kymyre Essilon, sells poultices, pickled herbs, ingredients and cures.
To the west of town the housing becomes more basic and worn-in. Deep in this section lies the Black Dog Tavern.
Inside the North gate lies a Fountain commemorating Sir Gregor Oswine the Goblinslayer.
Stablemaster at Eastern Gate: Gerrick, middle-aged man with brown hair and stubble.
Stable master in Honey Crest Keep: Stable master is Gavin Crofter, cripple.
