Turst Fields

To the northwest of Drynna, not far from the Dawnmist Pines, the farming community of Turst Fields toils over extremely fertile land fed by the Mooren River Run. “During the light of a full moon, it is said that the veil that holds back the Feywild weakens and spreads throughout the Forest. People have witnessed strange figures dancing in the shadows, and large creatures scouring the forest line, looking for food. When the sun rises, sometimes you can find giant hoof prints covered in grass and moss; but by the afternoon, they are completely filled with wildflowers.”
Providing much of Tal’Dorei and Whitestone’s grown food and produce, the community must import most all other commodities outside of wood, making it an eager stop for trade caravans, and an easy target for swindling. As such, nearly 150 Shields from Westruun are semi-permanently stationed here to keep the peace and prevent unlawful activity, dragging any apprehended criminals back to Westruun for judgment. Even so, the influence of darker interests still creeps up from time to time.
Turst Fields is also one of the few communities in Tal’Dorei that counts gnolls among not only its allies, but its citizens. Without the Dustpaw gnolls, Turst would nothave survived its first summer., not with the bloodthirsty Ravagers running rampant across the plains. Today, the humans and halflings of Turst Fields have not only been accepted by the Dustpaws, but many have adopted the gnolls’ language and animistic spirituality. This alliance isn’t as accepted by the larger populace of Tal’Dorei, however, and racial relations do become pressed when dealing with visiting political and foreign interests.
