==== Settlements ====

  * [[worms_ferry|Worm's Ferry]] - The location of [[Stately Angus Manor]] and the seat of the Hill Camp Hundred's political power. There are numerous Housecarls and soldiers stationed here. 
  * [[Shepherd's Hollow]] - 7.5 miles to the west-southwest from Angus Manor, populated by thirty-three families:  pop 163, Hides 23.  There is a tower and 3 soldiers stationed there.
  * [[Lesserton]] - 3.5 miles as the crow files to the west from Angus Manor, populated by fourteen families suspiciously lacking male adults.  Population:  56, Hides 10.
  * [[Frogtown]] - 6 miles south from Angus Manor, populated by about thirty families.  Population:  150,  Hides: 20.  
  * [[The Moin]] - An abandoned village and the looted lair/fortress of the sorcerer Jacques. located along the [[king godwin river|river]], south of Worm's Ferry.  

==== Places of Note ====

  * [[Shepherd's Gallows]] - Along the base of the hills to the East of Shepherd's hollow is a lonely platform and gallows. Its history or purpose is unknown at this point. It serves as a handy landmark and meeting place, despite having the subtle funk of evil. 
  * [[Irish Treehouse|The Irish Treehouse]] - A small ruined and crumbling wooden defensive works used by bandits as a base of operations for hijackings along the route from Jorviburg to Worm's Ferry. 
====Reactivating the Lordship====
Reeve Angus has a manor house, a parish church and a bell-tower in Worm's Ferry.   Since Frogtown, Lesserton, Shepherd's Hollow and Worm's Ferry, with a combined population of over 500 have been brought under Reeve Angus's control, it is likely he can apply to the Earl to be elevated into Lord of the Hundred.  He will also need to soon bring 23 more hides under cultivation to meet his obligations.
