Edwin after a few moments divines the following information..
1. You are on an island of some considerable size. There are small settlements to the east, north east and south east, the closest ones being small. Immediately to the east lies a swamp populated by xenophobic lizardfolk, to the west and the sea are Sahaugin and where you are now is a contested no-man's land between the two races.
2. The ghouls are the last danger, currently, in the village, all other undead having been eliminated.
3. It is a battlefield between Lizardfolk and Sahaugin, there were many corpses here from the fighting, but no longer. Ever and anon, some unlucky souls will founder here in a storm. The Manor, being fortified, is the only safe place between the warring races on either side..
