The village of Avgard

Avgard is the only remaining active village in a collection of villages in the north western part of the former Kingdom of Lowen. The other four villages are completely abandoned, at least by the villagers that once called them home.

The village has a population of mostly farming families and artisans. The village was once known for its high quality masons and carpenters before the invasion of the Ilithid through The Maw and the flooding of the Goldenwood forest that supplied their trade. Since then, the village has suffered greatly and most of the traders have moved on to other lands, leaving much of the village abandoned and falling into disrepair. Avgard today is an odd contrast of simple farmers and miners, living in well made and artfully designed family homes, with dilapidated buildings falling apart throughout the village as most families have moved on. Those that have stayed have managed to make a living mining precious metals in the nearby mountains, but it is dangerous work. There are roving bandits, and the sheriffs men demanding taxes and tributes to contend with. Given the choice, most villagers prefer dealing with the bandits, since the local sheriff does not take kindly to violence against her men.
