Duncliff

[rover]

This is a village at the Dunflow river, 50 miles south of Corrow's capital.

Dunford is 3 miles further south, where several villages east of the Dunflow get their herds across to graze. The name of the village is an exaggeration, to say the least, as the one-meter high rock at the river is not even close to a real cliff, but many fistfight have proven that the locals won't let the small detail mar the village pride. The name is Duncliff.

Three clans live in the vicinity of Duncliff: the MacLaigain, the Caradec and the Taddlun. The MacLaigain are originally from Gorric, and the most prone to start fights, but also to stand up to defend their friends. The Caradec are oldest around, always recounting old, heroic deeds as examples of their greatness. The Taddlun came from Nemedia two generations ago, and settled down as herders to anyone who cares to pay a decent price.

The Feisty Fawn, in the center of the village, is the main highlight of the area for any visitor, and all locals after a day's work. The inn has good food, plenty of ale, and singing and dancing in the evenings. These quite often end in fistfights, but an old 'law' of the Caradec is no weapons between ours, which served well to avoid many lethal injuries.

A few times a month Grar the local trapper shows up with delicacies he caught, and herbs his woman, Ajunra, collected. Ajunra is a rare sight, though, she hasn't been seen for more than two years. Many lads and men miss her because of her beauty, and many lasses and women are happy for her absence for the same reason.

Gwyn, on the other hand, can be seen several times a month, and at every festival. This old crone is a proud and accomplished witch, though she is definitely feeling her age. She always has oinments and potions, salves and roots, and will find more cures for anything requested.
