This small, insignificant village sits on the eastern side of the Tsalagi mountains north of Devonshire's pass a day's ride.  The people here are farmers and huntsman and scratch their living out of the earth and try to stay out of the way of the Black Wizards.  The main village is surrounded by a ring of earth works and sharpened wooden poles in hopes of keeping out not only wild animals, but marauders and wizards as well.  The farmland is outside the protection and men have guards posted at all times when they work the fields to ensure they are not attacked unawares.  There are a forty or so houses, small affairs meant for sleeping and eating in, but not much more.  Most of the sewing and larger activities take place outside in the summer and good weather and in the communal house in bad weather.  The communal house is right up against the mountain cliffs that loom overhead.  Beneath the communal house is a cellar and a tunnel.  The tunnel is natural, leading to a small cave on the other side of the Tsalagi Mountains near Willowdale.  This tunnel is kept clear in case the villagers need to escape.  There are many caves in the cliffs near by and all would serve as good hiding spots in case of emergencies.
