Darkhoof Commune
On the Ivy rock of Lush, lies a small commune at the base of a waterfall, surrounding a pool and some of the river. The houses here are mainly wooden, taken from the surrounding bountiful lands of Lush.
Elder Gideon (aged 66), Beros' grandfather is the patriarchal leader of the commune, which is about 27 Satyrs and 3 Humans all told. It is common for everyone to refer to each other as 'cousin' despite there not being much if any blood relation between them.
Beros' father, Telon (aged 44), is a skilled woodworker here, and he is glad to see his son returned whenver he drops by.
Supplies wise, not many ships come via the small community, but they do some trading now and again, mainly for the gathered resources they take from Lush; food, wood, etc. But the only technology here truly is taken from ships that crash on the Ivy rock or nearby.
All of the Ivy rock is breathable, but some neighbouring chunks are not connected to the 'life path' which is the main channel of air that flows around Lush.
