The Town of Greenest

Greenest



The town of Greenest is the only town of any size astride the Uldoon Trail, the most direct road between Waterdeep to the north, Cormyr to the east and Amn to the south. The town of Greenest was founded over a hundred years ago by the halfling Dharva Scatterheart, a rogue who fancied herself the queen of the Greenfields. Scatterheart passed away without ever achieving that level of eminence, but her town grew from a rough and tumble palisade to the thriving open community Greenest is today.

It is a medium sized town with a population of 2,100, usually full of merchants and traders on their way to larger cities.


Government


Tarbaw Nighthill is the town appointed governor of Greenest, residing in Greenest Keep. He is in charge of the town's justice, defense, and laws, though he works closely with a town council comprised of prominent merchants, craftsfolk, and farmers. Governor Nighthill is aided by his Castellan, Escobert the Red, who acts as the governor's second, and is in direct command of the town militia.

Society


Even though Greenest claims a number of citizens as residents of the town proper, that total encompasses the farms and other homes that lie outside the town boundaries within an hour's walk. The citizens outside of the town proper reside mostly on the farms and steadings situated in the numerous small valleys comprising the Greenfields; most are within seven (7) miles of the town's walls.

Demographics

71% Humans, 19% Halflings, 4% Dwarves, 3% Elves, 1% Half-Elves, 2% Other

Religion

Chauntea

Notable Locations


  • The Keep: A stone keep sits in the center of town. The town council and governor conduct town buisness from the great hall, but most of the space in the keep is dedicated to defense. The dwarf Escobert the Red is the castellan, and commands a small retinue to soldiers, as well as local militiamen. 
  • Temple of Chauntea: Most of the townsfolk worship Chauntea, so this fieldstone building is the tallest in town. The half-elf Eadyan Falconmoon is the temple’s priest. 
  • Mill: The mill is on the southwestern side of town along the small river. 
  • The Wayward Pine - Biggest inn in town, owned by Paddy, run by Lenore
