Market Square The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

Every other day or so, carts and wagons gather the market square and offer goods to the people of Nenlast. Once each week, the official Market Day acts as a siren’s song, calling most of the townsfolk to shop and socialize in the square. Farmers sell produce, hunters hawk smoked meats, villagers sell crafts, and sometimes a trader from distant locations sells implements or costly goods.

"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.

River Amrun The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

River Amrun is a young half-elf commoner. He is slender and androgynous, with dark short hair that falls to one side. River often wears a farmer’s shirt, wide trousers, and practical boots.

Trait: I am often quiet, and I would never raise my voice or lose my temper.
Ideal: Gentleness. There is good in everyone, even if it can be hard to see.
Bond: I always take care of all types of animals. Regardless of how small or strange a creature might be, it has a place in this world.
Flaw: I know that the priest in Desul Torey worships an evil deity, I just know it . . . something about him that really bothers me.

He is in charge of taking care of the horses at the Gray Hare Inn in Desul Torey. All horses stabled here are groomed and well fed if they are housed here for longer periods.

River Amrun can often be found in the stables next to the inn, where he looks after the mounts of guests at The Gray Hare. River is quiet, hardworking, and loves all animals that don’t bite too hard (and even the ones that do).

Someone can buy travel rations, horse feed, and some other practical items from River. Each travel ration costs 5 sp and consists of smoked meat, goat cheese, a pack of oats, dried forest berries, and apples. Each ration is wrapped in waxed paper.

Rosie and Tika Tanner do what they can to take care of River Amrun since he is an orphan and does help with managing customers horses and such so they let him eat for free at the Gray Hare. River basically lives out of the stables, he has no actual home of his own.

River usually dresses in tans and greens. He is easy to talk with, although he does seem to be a bit shy at times and does not like to talk about other people.

Septarch’s Tower The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

This massive structure is a tall, seven-sided spire of pale blue, green and grey stone that doesn’t match anything else in the town. It sits upon a high topped hill in Fallcrest to give it an air of importance as it overlooks the city. In the days before the Bloodspear War, this was the seat of Fallcrest’s mages’ guild—an order of a dozen or so wizards and arcane scholars.

Defensive enchantments prevented the orcs from sacking the tower, but the guild’s members died fighting for the city or fled to safer lands.

The tower is now the property of Nimozaran the Green, an elderly wizard who was once apprenticed to the last of the old guild mages. Nimozaran considers himself the “High Septarch of Fallcrest” and master of the guild, whose membership now includes only himself and a rather unpromising male halfling apprentice named Tobolar Quickfoot. Nimozaran expects any potential new guild members to pay a hefty initiation fee, and so far none of the few other arcanists living in or passing through Fallcrest have seen reason to join.

Before the fall of the guild, All arcane spellcasters in the city were entitled to join this organization, either as short-term guests or permanent, dues-paying members. The benefits of membership included access to hard-to-find spell components, the use of the guild’s research facilities, and the prospect of professional discourse with others of a similar mind. While there was collaboration with other wizards of the realm, the guild mostly looked after its own.

Nimozaran the Green is an elderly human wizard who was once apprenticed to the last of the old guild mages. Nimozaran hosted many powerful wizards in the Septarch's Tower prior to the Bloodspear War. Nimozaran is now one of the members of the newly formed White Council. While powerful, Nimozaran is by means the most powerful wizard in the vale but when asked he would not admit this fact.

Nimozaran has a hawk-like face, with a permanent frown that gives the appearance of alertness and almost anger, and a penetrating gaze. He keeps a long flowing beard and wears high collared robes. His voice is deep and melodic. When upset, his eyes crackles with eldritch power.

Years ago he spent a number of years in Barovia, trapped in the domain ruled by a powerful domain lord. It took him many years to find the way to escape. Even during his younger years his hair and beard were both long, black and peppered with grey streaks.

Over the many years his appearance has remain the same for the most part except for his aging, but he has lost none of his penetrating stare. Typically stubborn and one who does not suffer fools gladly, Nimozaran can be difficult even with his friends.

These days Nimozaran the Green is usually sealed within the tower studying his books and scrolls, rarely coming out to be among the city folk.

The Silver Unicorn The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

The Silver Unicorn is a small tavern just south west of the main gate of the city. Wisera Osterman, a young halfling runs the Silver Unicorn Inn. She is a matriarch figure and very protective of the adventuring crew who make the basement of her Inn their base of operations.

The Silver Unicorn is situated near the main gate of Fallcrest. Wisera shoce this location for the inn to be constructed thinking the closer to the main gate the better it would attract patrons. This Inn is a popular stopping point for the locals of Fallcrest and is usually rather busy. This medium sized Inn is very well maintained and is always clean. The Inn was built less than a year ago and still has a rather new feel to it.

The building has a second floor which contains ten guest rooms "sized for big folk as well as little folk" with a communal washroom at the end of the main hallway. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. Although the hall does not contain windows with curtains, each of the rooms has its own window. Each room has a comfortable single sized bed, several covers & blankets, a wash stand, chamber pot, a couple of towels, pegs for garments, and a comfortable sitting chair. All of the guest rooms are identical in appearance, all stocked with the same exact items. Each room is the same price and they each sleep a single person.

The establishment is in every way a halfling built construction. Wisera tells her customers that when the Inn was built that she wanted it built in such a way as to bring just a little bit of her homeland to the commonfolk. The main floor in the inn consists mostly of an open area filled with small tables of different sizes with chairs and a small bar located along the wall just as you enter the establishment.

Four bar stools have been placed at the bar. The western end on the Inn is used as a small storage shelter that remains locked. This is where most of the wines and ales are stored . . . this chamber is more of an over stock room that casks are pulled from when inventory runs low in the Inn itself. The kitchen is a large area filled with cooks of several different races (with a menu such is the Silver Unicorn has, you need plenty of cooks).

Several tables have been set up outside the front of the inn for those wishing to have meals and enjoy the outdoors. Along the southern wall of the main floor dining area is a large hearth which is large enough to heat the entire main floor during the winter months. When sitting within the dining area one will see two, possibly three female "halfings" waiting tables in a joyful manner. Prices at the The Silver Unicorn are priced a "little" at normal price comparable to other inns across the vale. The meals that are prepared here are spoken well of across the vale. The ales are important from all across the region, many from Hammerfast and are always top quality ales and beers.

(All full meals are served with bread and honey, potatoes, and string beans, yams, rum-boiled artichokes, potatoes, and string beans, yams, rum-boiled artichokes, cabbage, carrots, or spinach along with whatever meat and drink the customer orders with it)

Fallcrest Bathhouse The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

This is a very large structure in the center of city of Fallcrest. This bathhouse serves upper-class clientele, this small bathhouse is seen as a bit pricey, a single bath cost 5sp, and adjoining baths for two hours is charged 8sp . . . so not everyone can afford to take regular baths.

The bathhouse is owned by a young man that goes by the name of Temen but he has a large staff that runs the daily operations of the bath house.

Inside of the entryway, there are marble busts and tapestries that are pulled back over the windows on either side which led into a hallway with the smell of lavender and the sound of soft music played by a resident violinist.

This hallway leads to two adjoining bath chambers separated by a low wall that came up to eye length, allowing for conversations but preserving privacy.

Sunlight is beaming in through glass fog windows that obscured any details, these chambers each have two central basins filled with freshly steaming water. These basins are designed with a hinged desk piece that folds over the water so that books, food, and drinks could safely rest while the guest bathes. Guests are also provided with linens, towels, and a pitcher of cucumber water.

The establishment has a very warm and pleasent feel to it.

Winterhaven Trader's Bank The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

The Winterhaven Traders Bank is a banking business in Winterhaven that offers money-lending and secured storage to the merchants and traders that come through Winterhaven. It is owned and operated by a very old man by the name of Stephon Winterghast.

The bank is located on the north side of the settlement and has been well established since the early days of Winterhaven. It carries a good working reputation with it's customers and the people of Winterhaven. The bank is established within a well-secured building that is said to have magical wards placed all through the structure by the wizard "Valthrun" to assist in the location remaining secure at all times.

Valthrun also has many valuable items stored within this bank which explains why he has helped keep this structure secure from robbers.

This local bank is endorsed by Ernest Padraig and during all business hours one can always find at least two guards stationed inside as well as outside the bank at the entrance.

The Bank
The bank offers a fairly straightforward service. Individuals can deposit their hard-earned coin within the secured building and withdraw the same amount at a later date. Information about the amounts of transactions and the bank's clientele are kept secret. The banks handling fees are 3% for all coin deposits and storage (no matter the length of time the bank holds a customers coin and valuables) and 4% are non coin valuables stored within the bank.

The Winterhaven Traders Bank does not offer loands to customers. It is strictly a location within Winterhaven that exchanges coin and stores valuables for this in need "at a small fee of course". Storge of items has no time limit but the storage fees ddo adjust with the length of time the items are stored here.

Alaster's Provisions The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

The proprietor of this establishment is Alaster Grendis, who is a elderly half elf. He has tan skin, a groomed mustache and beard and blond hair and carries himself very well. He employs a couple of young clerks (Vander and Terrick) who help load and unload wagons, and who wait on customers when Alaster isn't around.

Virtually all sorts of saleable goods are offered here. Rare and/or unusual items might be obtained at a price and in time (and will often be spurious or faulty). Magical items are NOT sold here ever! The store itself is medium sized at best. Alaster's Provisions is a large trading house in Winterhaven.

2. Footwear, Gloves & Belts: Prices to adventurers is 125% of list, 80% to villagers.

3. Lighting Equipment: Tinderboxes, candles, oil, lamps, wicks, lanterns etc are 110% of list, rounded up.

4. Hand Tools: Hammers, adzes, planes, nails, saws etc. A file sells for 1sp and up. Saws cost cost about the same as a hand axe or hatchet.

5. Food & Herbs: Rations packed to go are 110% of list, and herbs are 140% of list.

6. Ropes, Chains & Dungeoneering Gear: (including writing materials and religious items) 100% of list.

7. Tack, Harness, Wheelbarrows & Dungeon Carts: All in stock will be at 75% of list.

The store is located on the south side of Winterhaven, and to the west of owners home. It is the first shop that will be seen when entering Winterhaven from the settlement from King's Road.

Alaster's Provisions acts as a general store, and is open from dawn until dusk. It sells low-cost trade wares, such as adventuring gear, as well as rations and other simple goods, and is perhaps the only place in the entire region that carries specialty skull-shaped butter from Stonespine Ranch "located a little under a mile south of Winterhaven". However, they do not sell weapons and armor or potions, but Alaster will helpfully direct interested buyers to places where they could find these. For larger orders, Alaster will supply a cart pulled by his ox to move the goods "for a price of course".

Alaster's Provisions also serves as a trading hub. Clerks will unload and load carts of goods and resources that they come into, or were to go out of, Winterhaven via wagon. Alaster also brokers deals for large sales of livestock and similar goods, bringing together local sellers from as far away as Fallcrest with buyers as far afield as Nenlast.

Bairwin's Grand Shoppe The Valelands & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Valelands campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

Bairwin Wildarson traveled the world, or so he claims, before setting up shop in Winterhaven four years ago. He has a variety of items available for sale, including anything off the list of adventuring gear shown in the Player’s Handbook. He occasionally has a few 1st-level magic items for sale "but this is such a rare thing, for game purposes he is usually out of stock with a 5% chance of having anything of worth", and he sometimes has a couple of potions of healing available in the shop.

For the most part, this establishment is generally looked at as the Winterhaven General Goods store, selling anything was clothing, to dried foods and such. He also sells general utility items found in the Players Handbook and sells such items at 125% mark up value.
