(Rhain Bedwyr and Shaun Hately)

The Feast of St. Stephan is about to begin. You have arrived in the village you are to rule over. These twelve days promise to be a time of fine food, warm ale, and good fellowship. But the winter is proving to be colder than usual, or as the cottars would say:

Background

This scenario was designed as a sequel to The Lord of Gorburn but can stand alone. One of the characters (ideally a Knight) has been made the Steward of the northern Albish village of Springdale and has arrived with his companions to take up residence in the Manor.

Springdale

Springdale is not an entirely typical village. While there are peasants and cottars living and farming in and around the village in the traditional feudal manor, the presence of the warm mineral springs that gave it its name has made it a popular place to visit since the days that the Selentine Empire ruled the area. The influx of travellers that arrives each spring and summer has made the village unusually prosperous, and also made it a centre of local commerce.
