Aelder’s Ferry (Village Map & Adventure Hooks)
1,00 €
Adventure awaits! Welcome to the busy hamlet of Aelder’s Ferry, the northernmost outpost of civilization you will find in the Barony of Moonpike. Further north, only lonely farmsteads, old barrows, and the endless expanses of the Auldenweald await, and with it the temptation of ruins and treasure. While only a few dozen souls might call Aelder’s Ferry their home, it is a lively – and wealthy – place where it may be easy to make a coin of ten, courtesy of the titular ferry and the King’s Road it links to on the other bank of the River Vallamar. But the call of gold also always draws the attention of less than reputable company, and before you get the chance to take a rest in the Leaping Trout Tavern after a day of hard travel, you find yourself beset by an attack from river bandits trying to storm the ferry…
Whether you intend to use this as the starting point of a new campaign, having your players meet up in the Leaping Trout Tavern or on the ferry, or just want to use a village map ready made for a few local adventures, Aelder’s Ferry offers plenty of opportunities for conflict and adventure. This is regardless of whether you want to use this in your own setting or just as a small location in a D&D or Pathfinder world of your choice. Its location as a trade hub guarantees the presence of a diverse cast of characters, either travellers like you, or people who have chosen to make a living right there off travellers like you. Aelder’s Ferry is close to the edge of civilized territory. As such, expeditions as well as individual adventurers often pass through here on their journey north, and much wealth flows from east to west across the King’s Road and the river.
The coming and going of people offers plenty of opportunity for dangerous villains and those aspiring to be to hide themselves, only to strike at the unsuspecting villagers and travellers, and it also makes it easy for your players to become involved in all sorts legal and not quite so legal shenangigans…
Aelder’s Ferry provides a village map and several short adventure hooks. It comes as print-ready PDF files and JPGs, providing both day and night versions.
