Shinnerman’s Fortune
SHINNERMAN’S FORTUNE
A half-mile down the trail from the sacked cottages, the PCs arrive at the edge of a village called Shinnerman’s Fortune. The village’s populace consists almost entirely of prospectors, with individuals claiming large swaths of land along the stream, and the settlement is uncharacteristically spread out. The villagers mostly prospect for gold and silver. Though they are not wealthy, they earn enough to have a stable income, and the surrounding lands provide additional resources. The citizens of Shinnerman’s Fortune thrive upon their independence, both as individuals and as a community. A small council of elders provides what little government the village needs, but the council’s primary function is to represent the villagers as a single business entity for the purpose of trading with outsiders. In all, the residents of Shinnerman’s Fortune are a hardy folk, usually quite capable of defending themselves against local threats.
