 == History of Tegel Village ==
-Tegel Village lies in a small valley in the northern expanse of the Dreadwood forest.  The Dreadwood is the easternmost forest in the Reaches, stretching south to the River White and north to open plains of the Orc Nation.  An evil and forbidding place, only the discovery of mithral in the area brought explorers and later settlers to the area.  The village is located on a small open plain between the Darnby Creek in the north and the Boiling Brook in the south.  Much of the farmland in this area has been cleared over the past three hundred years, but the depths of the forest surround Tegel Village west of the Bluestone Dwarf ruins and south of the Monastery of St. Cadel.  Despite their close proximity to the forest, few villagers travel into its depths.
+Tegel Village lies in a small valley in the northern expanse of the Dreadwood forest. Founded as a central market for the farms in the area back in the days of Rumpole Rump, Tegel Village is centered in the lush farmlands in the valley.  The soil of this small vale contains a certain mixture of minerals and nutrients that is perfect for growing winterweed, the primary export of the village.  Small farms planted in the rockier soil to the east and the drier soils to the west produced poorer quality crops and were abandoned years ago.  Frequent orc raids have also kept the farms close to town.  The town currently has about 200 residents including 80 adults and 120 children.
 A single merchant road approaches Tegel Village from Dragonsford far to the south.  Branches south of town lead to the Tegel Mines and the Monastery of St. Cadel.  Crossing the Boiling Brook at Grinder’s Mill, the path that leads into Tegel Village is little more than a well-worn path.  Two roads lead out of Tegel Village.  To the north, the path moves into the Dreadwood, although the bridge at Darnby Creek has been washed out for years.  The villagers, afraid of the spirits from Eventide, have left it this way.  Heading out of the village to the east, the road moves up Spirit Hill and past the White Temple.  The left fork of the road leads to Fishbone Hamlet and the Dim Lighthouse.  The right fork leads past the Cliff House and finally to Tegel Manor.  The right fork is almost never used these days.

 Peregrine is the middle member of the Order of Five Scales.  He uses his pottery to send messages to the other members via 4 “special” pots made with a code in them.  The “key” to the code is in the bottom, and the pot must be broken to get the key.  So, you must write down the code before breaking the pot.  This is the safety feature which keeps the messages safe.
 Pyper, Piers (musician) – A true bard, Piers came to Tegel a decade ago on a trade caravan where he was working as an inept guard and excellent entertainer.  He fell in love with the winterweed and the seclusion of the area.  He is working on his epic ballad put to music which some feel may never be finished.  He typically makes the rounds to the two inns and two pubs to earn a couple of coppers in the evenings.  Piers is a sandy-haired young man of average build.  The girls in town love his deep bass voice, and Piers seems to have a fondness for them as well.
 '''Reem, August (captain)''' – Captain August Reem is an ex-militia veteran who retired to Tegel after fighting orcs in the Dreadwood for years.  He is tall and wiry, always dressed in chain mail armor with his hair impeccably cropped and a winterweed cigar hanging from his mouth.  His expertise has put him on the village council, and many believe that he is the sole reason that the orcs have been unable to overtake Tegel Village.  Unhappy with his current recruits, August is always working on the local boys and girls to join the town guards.  He holds free training in the town square once each week.

 '''Cellar (vintner)''' – Made of stone, the Cellar is a neat shop, although a bit on the small side.  Two large overstuffed chairs sit in the front window, a table with several crystal wine glasses perched between them.  Here, Winton Sweetvines and his customers can sit and discuss the finer points of his wine collection which is arranged on shelves on all four walls.  A glass case at the back hold rare and exotic wines from around the Realm.  Winton always makes a big production of pulling the gold key from his pocket to unlock this case.
-'''Chapel of Dagda (chapel)''' – Built in the style of the modern basilica, this chapel is made of stone and is three stories high, the top of the steeple being the tallest structure in Tegel Village.  The outer doors lead into a wide narthex with a set of bronze inner doors leading to a nave with two aisles flanking either side.  A soaring ceiling and large stained  glass windows always bring a gasp to newcomers.  The rear of the church has a simple altar in the central bema.  Two transepts have memorials in them, one to the miners lost in the Tegel Mines over the years.  The other to the clerics who have served the Village since its foundation.  Rumors hold that the earliest priests were buried under this memorial.  A simple apse has the golden symbol of the rising sun emblazoned on the back wall.  The chapel is always open except during orc raids, when the front doors are barred and the village elderly and children hide.

 '''Chopping Block (butcher)''' – Two stone building make up the Tegel Village butcher’s shop.  The back building is used for smoking and curing meats, a real treat for the villagers, as their old butcher could barely cut up a cow.  The wonderful aroma of hickory wood can almost always be found here.  The main shop is a stone house.  The entire upper floor is Fawn’s home, although she lives alone.  The ground floor is the shop, a tidy affair with a large butcher’s table in the center of the room, a large window in the front of the shop displays various game hanging from hooks, and a magical case at the back of the room that is always cold.  In this, Fawn keeps a variety of ground meat, organs and small birds.  It is said that the case contains the heart of white dragon in a special compartment underneath.

 '''Hedda’s Herbs (herbalist)''' – This small thatched cottage on the outskirts of town is well visited by the inhabitants of Tegel Village.  It is rumored that a spell has been cast over the building as it has been ignored by orc raids for over a year.  The inviting smell of baking bread oftentimes greets visitors in stark contrast to the gruff welcome from its matron.  Two young children and Hedda live in the back rooms of the cottage, and the front room is lined with shelves and cupboards spilling over with strange plants and herbs.
-'''Hero and Hound (pub)''' – With a sign outside that reads, “Serving Tegel since 682”, the Hero and Hound boasts being the oldest of the established watering holes in the village.  A small dark-timbered place, the building is of stone construction.  It’s low ceiling leads to a darkly timbered, solid-looking barroom.  Without a traditional long bar, the Hero and Hound has several large common tables and some quiet booths.  An old room at the back of the pub has been sealed over with plaster and has a holy symbol of Dagda hanging from the blocked doorframe.

 '''Hillman Exchange (mercantile)''' – This large one-story building and its attendant storage huts has been a market for many years, although the current owners have been running the establishment for only the last twenty years.  The building is actually one very large room with maze-like paths running through the store.  The Hillman children greet shoppers and help them locate their wares in the labyrinthine shop.  The oldest Hillman child sleeps at the store.  Flammable supplies are kept in one hut behind the store while odorous supplies such as bat guano fertilizer are kept in another.  A third hut is never opened.

 Noble Nets (nets and ropes) – This small, one-room shop is filled with ropes and nets hanging from the ceiling.  A small sleeping area at the back of the shop is used by its purveyor, Lyndon Longrope.  One corner of the shop is piled with fibrous plants which will eventually be woven and wrapped into fine ropes and nets.
-'''Orphanage of Dagda (orphanage)''' - The orphanage is housed in an ancient, abandoned chapel.  The chapel is clearly the oldest structure in the village, predating even Tegel Manor.  It is built in the style of many early Third Age missionary chapels.  The building is made of cut stone with a main sanctuary and attendant rooms behind.  The chapel still has five stained glass windows remaining each depicting a long-forgotten saint slaying a dragon.  The other windows in the chapel have been broken.  The main sanctuary is filled with rows of bunk beds interspersed with tables, wardrobes and chests.  The back rooms are filled with supplies.  One small room has been made into a workshop.

 '''Plowman Place (farm)''' – Of newer construction, the Plowman farmhouse is larger than most houses, belying the relative prosperity of its owner.  Made of white-washed wood, the house is two-stories with an ample root cellar.  A white picket fence surrounds the house, and Peter has planted black walnut trees around the place, although they will take many years to grow to maturity.

 '''Goodbread, Aron (baker)''' – Aron Goodbread recently took over the bakery when his father died.  A decent baker, Aron lacks his father’s talent for sweetbreads and pastries.  His fare is solid and filling, and the bread  on the shelf of his shop rarely lasts the day.  Aron is tall and rather plain-looking with a hawk-like nose and small beady eyes.  Aron stutters when talking with young women.  Aron lives at the shop and rarely ventures out into town.
-'''Goodweather, Simon (father)''' – Kindly old Simon Goodweather has been the high priest in Tegel Village for years.  He wears a ragged old white cloak with a gold sun rising over a mountain embroidered on it.  A loyal follower of Dagda, Simon holds a simple service at sunrise on holy days.  Otherwise, he asks parishioners to pause at the rising sun to thank Dagda and give generously when able.  Simon mostly cares for the Chapel of Dagda, leaving care of the Orphanage to Linus Holysword.  Simon lives in the rectory.

 '''Granger, Congal (farmer)''' – The Grangers are a large, sprawling family of ten that remain poor due to their numbers despite typical prosperous crops in corn, wheat, and vegetables.  Congal is most proud of four lemon trees that grows on his farm despite the cold weather and frigid temperatures.  A Granger lemon is a fruit to be savored.  Congal’s wife, the ever-pregnant Missy, is as good-natured as her husband.  Both are fair haired with bright blue eyes.
