Culture
Once a thriving settlement, the original settlers of Bagwar's Copse were forced to abandon their homes after the forest itself rebelled against unwanted expansion. For generations the Copse was isolated from the rest of Sapience, until a young exile from Hashan and his wife rediscovered the village while seeking a new home. Now a melting-pot of races and backgrounds, the forestals that live there are a closely-knit group.
Shops
Bagwar Alehouse is located near the entrance to the village and serves mead and ale. For those who prefer non-alcoholic drinks, Gretel Schmidt has a small lemonade stand in the western part of the village.
