Winterhaven is a walled village in the heartlands of Cormyr.
The population of Winterhaven is predominantly human, with a scattering of dwarf families, and a handful of individuals of other common races, including a couple of elves. Most residents of Winterhaven have never traveled beyond the village vale. The majority of villagers are farmers, though the walled heart of Winterhaven employs various craftspeople as well. Wagons occasionally head east down old King's Road from Winterhaven to find trade with the next village, which lies five days away.
Город сильно расстраивается. Возле города построена огороженная стоянка для караванов.

Being the patriarch of the only dwarven family in Winterhaven, hair is always happy to meet another dwarf, particularly young dwarven men who might be suitable matches for his young adult daughters (both of whom are accomplished blacksmiths in their own right and neither of whom have the east bit of interest in being married off to some scruffy adventurers).

If Winterhaven comes under attack, the Regulars and what militia can be raised from among the civilians guard the walls to stave off the threat.2. WRAFTON’S INN

On any given day, there is a 50% chance that items from the adventuring gear list in the Player’s Handbook are available for sale here. Adventurers will almost never find armor, weapons, implements, or magic items in the market square, however.TELSHARA SHARDREN
