Valhale

The Village of Valhale - Valhale as it is commonly called-is situated In the central part of Region of Brafon. The village (actually hamlet-sized, though local parlance distinguishes it with the term "village") Is located some 10 or so leagues southeast of the town of Lexica, on the tringe of the territory controlled by its noble Lord. The Count Dragonherz. lt is at a crossroads. To the west Is the mighty Lexica River, along whose east bank runs the Lowroad. Many days' travel to the south west, is the great walled city of Dundalis, the village of Youmaneff about halfway along the route.   Valhale grew from a farm or two, a rest house, and a smithy. The roads brought a succulent number of travellers and merchant wagons to attract tradesmen and artisans to serve those passing through. The rest house became a thriving inn, a wheel and wainwright settled in the thorp, and more farmers and herdsmen followed, for grain was needed for the passing animals, and meat was in demand for the innfolk. Prosperity was great for the lord of the district was mild and taxed but little. Trade was good, and the land was untroubled by war or outlaws or ravaging beasts. The area was too free, too beautiful, too bountiful, at least in the eyes of some.   The majority of the settlement practices Druidism, mostly due to the legality of worship of the The Seven.
