At the mouth of the rivers Lyar and Thring lies th

At the mouth of the rivers Lyar and Thring lies the city of Hofendal, capital of the Kingdom of Rasfadal. This is where the King of Rasfadal has spend his days since the War in the West ended. His hands are more than full with all the work and rebuilding that needs to be done after the devastating war. Many people have come to find refuge in Hofendal. Lords from the east come to ask for aid in reclaiming their lost holdings in the Swamps, but the war took its toll, and many men were lost. There aren't many to spare.
.
Until the Swamps can be reclaimed, these 'Homeless Lords' and their men have no place to go to, and so they make their home in Hofendal. Because of this, the city is filled with nobles and soldiers.
.
Proud as they are, the lords love to challenge each other, and settle old feuds. Many soldiers engage in fights in the streets and taverns. This has lead to the deaths of three soldiers and one innocent bystander already.
.
The King is desperately looking for ways to get the lords out of the city. With depleted resources, he has no intention in fighting the bandit kings and waging another war, but it seems like the only way. Any help he can get is more than welcome!

Along the busy Mayne street of Twyrif you'll find Myrden's Wonders, a famous potion shop also known to sell some books about magic.
.
As you walk into the show you are overwhelmed with a strong mixture of smells. The shop is filled with tables packed with bottles of different shapes and sizes. Each bottle is filled with an unnaturally colored liquid, some of them even glowing.
.
Myrden will tell you about all the different effects his potions will grand. While he is now known to be a liar, some people will tell you that he likes to exaggerate about the effects or leave out important details. Sometimes this causes nothing more than a minor inconvenience, other times is might have fatal consequences.

This little town is located on the shores of The Swamps in Rasfadal. The town is overlooked by a church which is the general meeting place for the people of Costurch. The church is run by Father Yrthad, a nervous man that tried to do his best to keep the town and its people save. For that he is willing to make questionable deals...

This set of townhouses is generic enough that it can be used in almost every game you run. These houses are based on one of the structures featured in the previously published map City Street.
.
“The main street of Twyrif is very busy and the sides of the road lines with buildings. The houses seem to change with every block that you pass. Entering the city from the south you arrive at a small square enclosed by two tall and intimidating buildings. Walking along the main street you’ll quickly reach The Slums on your left side. To the right are the luxurious houses of South End. These houses are spacious. Going further the luxurious houses will make room for large buildings that house the government services. A bit further and you’ll have passed The Slums. Now you’ll see the old and cozy houses and shops of the Old Town district. Continuing on you’ll pass the Main Square and finally leave the city through the North Gate.”

For a couple of years my wife and I have dreamed of moving to Sweden. We’ve set goals for ourselves and are slowly working our way towards then, but it will be a while before we’ll be able to make it happen.
.
For Christmas I made this ‘map’ for my wife. It shows our Dreamhouse in Sweden. This is where we want to be.
