Ildsted

Location
Ildsted is a traveller's waystation located within a meander of the river Emelan, between the duchies of Tirelar and Farwood.

The Trading Grounds
The market square is an unofficial area just outside of the waystation proper, in which traders and villagers will meet to exchange items. Money is not often used here, with people prefering instead to exchange items, services, or favours.

The Ildsted Bend
The sole tavern in Ildsted. Run by a female retired wizard named Henriette Pascal. Henriette hasn't cast magic ina long time, and doesn't know if she still can. Runs the tavern due to a love of ru ours and information. Maintains a library underneath the tavern and is often approached for information or academic insight. A male goliath Gauvek "Threadfist" Gazara is the Bodyguard and lifelong friend of Henriette. Maintains a generally cheery disposition.

Apothecary
Run by a young elven man names Eldariel Hoxaris. Fiercly proud of their horticulrual work, and has been successful in breeding a new type of flower using species from the traders of different areas. Bottles potions, but only sells them to friends.

Blacksmith
The town blacksmith used to be run by George Gilly, and assisted by his daughter, Eryn, until George was killed at the beginning of the adventure "Moon over Graymoor". Upon rescuing Eryn, she feels unable to stay in the town where she caused such despair (so she believes), and as such decides to leave the village. Currently nobody runs the smithy.

Locksmith
Run by a timid and shy drow woman, Xalyth Tass. Whilst Xalyth works primarily as a locksmith, unfastening coffers and securing carriages for traders, she also tinkers with mechanical oddities in her workshop. Very paranoid, convinced she is going to die.

Retired Knight's Homestead
Ser Thames retired to Ildsted around 9 months prior to the adventure "Moon over Graymoor". He resides in a moderate homestead around 30 minutes north-east of Ildsted, just past a ford point in the meander's north side.
