Willow Wood sits on the far edge of known land. A border town of sorts, the village gets its name for the surrounding area; trees that are lean and willowy. Not much of anything grows on the trees, and at night, the twisted and low hanging branches can be mistaken for dark and lanky figures. The small population that lives here are an honest and hearty bunch. They make their living by farming the land and working the mines in the nearby cliffside. While the people may be good folks, the surrounding land is not. Wild animals constantly stalk and prey on unsuspecting villagers, and sightings of all kinds of monsters have also been reported. While the mines are the villages lifeblood, they pose a constant danger from cave-ins, gas pockets, and possibly even secrets best left buried. Those that grew up in Willow Wood have a tendency to stay, while travelers wish to do business, and leave as quickly as they came. Experienced adventurers can find bounties for pest extermination, monster hunting, caravan guard duty, and finding lost peoples on the town’s message board. The village has a modest market, but the village really comes alive at the local tavern, The Screaming Banshee. Whether gambling on card games, listening to old folk tales and rumors, or just having a good drink, someone can always find something to do at the tavern. Yes, Willow Wood village has many a dangers surrounding it, but those that stay will find a close knit bunch that look after one another and never flee from a fight.
