[Previous setting] Nightveil
#1
I thought that it would be worth it to give some general information about Nightveil as a setting.

Nightveil is located in the forbidden lands somewhere north of Alroc and south of Auria. It's several miles inland and sits on a very large lake, access to it is through a winding river pass.

The lake itself is known by sailors as Myst Lake, this is because in the early mornings, particularly in the fall and winter, a fog will roll over the lake and the lowest sections of town. Usually this mist is gone before afternoon.

Nightveil isn't a terribly well known town, but now that it's occupied again, trade comes in usual rotations and ships to and fro are not hard to find. Though most sailors will not set foot off their boats into town, and all of them agree the place is cursed. Though none can give a reason where such a rumor came from.

Seasons are pretty mild in Nightveil, The summers can get hot and humid but generally are well tolerated. Winter does occasionally become cold enough to snow, but this is very infrequent. If it snows at all it will only do so for a single day for the whole season. Both spring and fall are pleasant, with fall being exceptional in that the thick forest around town becomes richly colored in orange, burgundy and yellow leaves for months at a time before winter finally sets in.

See the farming thread for details, but the soil is rich and the the temperate nature of the town opens the ability to grow most kinds of crops with little difficulty.

The mines are not particularly rich, though ores and minerals can still be found aplenty within. The mountain the mines dig into are riddled with caves, making mining in some area’s dangerous and blast charges a poor idea in most sections.

Hunting around Nightveil is plentiful, any animal well acclimated to mountainous or temperate forest could be located in the woods, this does include everything from deer, rabbits, goats, and turkey to predators like wolves, mountain lions, and bears.

Dusk fiends are as ever a nightly blight upon the town of Nightveil, though the massive dark walkers are not fans of the Mysty Lake and aren’t often seen in the area.
