Harken Village

Harken Village: A small village nestled near the White River, along the old King’s Road in the southeast
corner of the Nentir Vale.
Population: 212; another 100 or so live in the countryside around the village. The people of Harken are
mostly humans, dwarves, and halflings.
Government: The human noble Jonn Stockmer is the baron of Harkenwold. He oversees justice,
defense, and laws within the six villages and surrounding countryside that makes up the Harkenwold. The
baron appoints village elders to help with the daily governing of the Harkenwold. One of the town elders
is called Old Kellar, an ancient and respected dwarf.
Defence: Harken village has no standing defences, but 30 or so able-bodied warriors can be raised from
the population relatively quickly. If the need arises, the baron can call up 150 militia at need from the
whole of Harkenwold.

Inn: Aunt Nonnie’s Place, which has a common room as well as room to rent, is run by the halfling
Nonnie Farwhere. While not a proper inn, it’s the closest thing to one you’ll find in whole of the
Harkenwold. The doughty halfling Nonnie Farwhere runs a small inn with a kitchen and common room.
“Aunt Nonnie” is something of a gossip and a busybody.
Tavern: Cliffside Brewery; The Broken Gaol Taphouse
Supplies: Harkenwold Trading Station: The major mercantile outlet in Harken, the Trading Station is
owned by a stout, oily little man named Rennis.
Temple: House of Faith, which caters to worshippers of Pelor, Moradin, Erathis, and Sehanine.
Places of Interest:
1. The Broken Gaol Once a respected taphouse named the Silver Nail, this tavern caters to the Baron’s
troops. An opportunistic half-orc woman named Krutha runs the place.
2. Harken Keep The home of Baron Stockmere and his family.
3. Cliffside Brewery The three Ironbeards — brothers Omurk and Dannurk, and Dannurk’s notoriously
short-tempered wife Dathilda — run this fine brewery. This brewery not only brews its own ales but also
sells its product to taverns in Fallcrest and Winterhaven. They are good friends with the smith Kathrid in
Albridge.
4. Old Kellar’s House Once the elder of Harken, Kellar is an ancient dwarf who worked as a master
stonecutter and mason for a century. He built much of Baron Stockmere’s keep.
5. Tower of Green Flame A mysterious crystal spire rising above the town, this tower is thought to be
the residence of an ancient archmage who long ago departed the world to explore other planes. Townfolk
avoid the place for the most part, fearing arcane traps or curses. Of the few explorers brave enough to
venture inside, more than one has disappeared and the rest found the place empty – three small,
unfurnished floors with nothing but dust and bird nests. On moonless nights, eerie green phosphorescence
plays about the tower’s upper floors.
6. Harkenwold Trading Station The major mercantile outlet in Harken, the Trading Station is owned by
a stout, oily little man named Rennis Longstream. Most common mundane items available of 50gp or
less.
7. House of Faith A large temple built by an adventuring cleric of yore, the House of Faith has seen
better days. Shrines dedicated to Pelor, Moradin, Erathis, and Sehanine stand inside. A local Cleric of
Pelor, Father Dells lives in a house on the grounds.
8. Nonnie’s Place The doughty halfling Nonnie Farwhere runs a small inn with a kitchen and common
room. “Aunt Nonnie” is something of a gossip and busybody. Nonnie charges 5 silver pieces a night for
room and board.
9. Constable: This is the local jailhouse. Constable Thornbridge and his deputies are stationed here.
