There isn't going to be a set in stone plot here, instead I am going to open it up to the other players and allow all to throw in any ideas or plot bombs they may have.
The village will be in the coastal region of Helsingborg, in modern day Sweden. As it is a port town, there will be plenty of trade, fishing and of course the docks. Modern day Helsingborg is divided into many subdivisions, with 30+ districts. Should you want to play a character who owns land, more information will be given in the OOC
The town will be ruled over by an Earl, who is open for playing should someone want too, if not he will be a puppet character. You do not have to live in the village, but can perhaps live in a farming community or even fishing etc. Moving past the initial coast line, plenty of farms and deep forestry.
