Tanner’s Green
Tanner’s Green is a small town near the eaves of the Westwood, not far from the borderland with The Frontier. It is governed by Mayor Rutiger, a position that is chosen by the landowning citizens of the town every three years. A temple of Freya is in the town, which relies mostly on farming, ranching, and a small amount of trade.
It seems to be a quiet, peaceful little town in the middle of nowhere right outside the eastern edge of the Westwood. It is technically the northernmost settlement in the vast and sparsely populated Aciier County, though the Aciier countess’s patrols rarely reach so far into the wilderness. Thus, the little town fends for itself, making decisions by consensus or by casting lots, including the election of a mayor every three years.
The region around Tanner’s Green is so sparsely populated that the villagers rarely encounter outsiders, either travelers or raiders. The former tend to be welcomed and pressed for news or tales, and then politely encouraged to move on as soon as the reason for their visit is complete. The latter have little to gain from humble farmers and ranchers like the folk of Tanner’s Green, and generally find the inhabitants to be of sufficient courage and stubbornness to make raiding them more effort than it would be worth. All in all, Tanner’s Green is primarily remarkable to travelers in the region simply because it is the only village at all for several dozen miles in all directions. That said, however, terrible rumors are emerging from the Westwood of late, rumors of ghastly cults and of ancient evil returning to life. The folk of Tanner’s Green, according to these rumors, seem to be somehow caught up in whatever is happening in the woods near their home.
