Ostverk

[davegibsongreyhawkdm]

What are some ways you have detailed the Village of Ostverk?

How is it different or similar to the Village of Hommlet?

Is it still a humanocentric village, perhaps with some nearby elves and/or gnomes?

Have you placed any evil agents/humanoids/other threats in the Ostverk area?

Has anyone developed an area or village map for Ostverk?

[GRWelsh]

Ostverk is a village about the size of Hommlet or perhaps a bit larger, also very rustic in nature. It is also a trading post and part of a buffer state for Celene. The Waldgraf of Ostverk is a minor noble who rules over the village and a march land along the northern border of Celene. Part of his job is to patrol the western edge of the forest road that goes from the Kron Hills to Narwell, and keep it free of brigands and humanoids. Ostverk is humanocentric, predominantly Oeridian and related to the people of Verbobonc and Furyondy. Yet it is not uncommon to see demi-humans here, as Ostverk trades with them all and part of its function is to act as intermediary between the reclusive gray elves and other races and realms.

I never drew a map for it, but with a Google search I found two maps by others.
