Bitterfork
Leader Melancton, the Mayor]]


History

The original members of the shipwrecked Amphites were the first to settle here. Their descendants are the current members of the village.

Geography

South of the Northreach Forest, Bitterfork is located in the Dardanic Plains between the Bitterflow River and the Sapphire Ocean.

Inhabitants

  • Bear hunters
  • Belen, the shaman
  • Lyen, a chubby innkeeper
  • Melancton, the Mayor
  • Thaleia
  • Vanac, the leatherworker
  • Villagers - children, men, women, and a wiry fisherman

Culture

The village is ruled by Belen's iron fist and is home to his notorious Bear Cult. Most of the people in the village are bear hunters who with local shepherds guard flocks in the nearby countryside from all manner of predators.

Notable Locations

In the village square, a crumbling fountain of black granite is featured. Despite the deterioration of the structure, one can see that a wall surrounds the basin with a pillar rising up in the center, with four bear heads in bass-relief upon its surface.

Flora and Fauna

Just outside the village, goldenseal and lady's slipper grow in abundance as tsetse flies annoyingly buzz and loop from one location to the next. Savannah lions, half the size of their mountain cousins, are just as fierce as they prey on the fluffy white sheep and wooly barmotez who graze the prairie grasslands. Beds of kelp thrive in the nearby waters of the Bitterflow River.
