HILL CAMP HUNDRED

Hill Camp Hundred is a defunct Lordship north of Jorvikshire. The Hundred is roughly marked out with Shepherd's Hollow, Worm's Ferry, Frogtown and Lesserton as the four corners of the territory. Currently, Angus McNasty holds the Reeveship of the Hundred in the name of the Earl and there is a big building boom in the village of Worm's Ferry. All the settlements are under Reeve Angus's control as of October 1130.

Settlements

  • 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 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.
  • 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.
