 The "cursed ferry" as it is called is pushed by one brave boy just after sunrise, and then back again an hour before the sun falls once again. The Earl's Men commanded by [[angus|Angus McNasty, Reeve of Worm's Ferry]] on the West shore help collect the tolls and dole out justice if any shenanigans should transpire.
-To the West of Worm's Ferry is bandit country, made up of a group of gangs led by a self-styled Irish bandit king named Dill. This fellow has managed to create a small settlement in these wilds that he rules himself which is colloquially known as Dill's Burg.

This fellow has managed to create a small settlement in these wilds as a base of operations to lord over settlers looking to escape the king's yoke, but still be protected from the wilds. This settlement is colloquially known as Dill's Burg.
 A relatively wide and strong creek known as the [[Longcrook Creek]] empties out into the [[King Godwin River]] just North of the settlement. The [[Golden Trousers Creek]] empties into the [[King Godwin River]] a little over four miles South.

 There are several smaller settlements on the far Northern frontier that have been identified in scouting missions.
-  * [[Lesserton]] - This humble village of four families in a bend of [[Longfolds Creek]] are led by a young man who calls himself Ricketts. They raise goats and grain, and live in fear of harassing bandits and the sorceress across the creek.

They raise goats and grain, and live in fear of harassing bandits and the sorceress across the creek. There is a suspicious paucity of adult men left in the village, as Ricketts himself just passed his eighteenth winter.

In the Spring and Summer herds of these animals can often be seen from the Dillswood to the river. In colder months, the shepherds and their animals both winter in barns.
