The village under the elms is like very many small settlements on the eastern edge of the hundred kingdoms it consists of what is little more than a large clearing, in the woods,  split into dry stone walled plots  growing mostly vegetables  then a cluster of small single story pit houses around the elms which give the village its name and the largest of which is the villages god tree. it is approached over the highest ford on the river Nevin an then by a cart track barely wider than an animal track and seldom used by any cart as there are none in the village and  even the guild pedlar comes here on foot on her yearly visits


As the company approach in single file along the track the jangling of their horse harness disturbs a herd of half wild pigs which scatter deeper into the woods which the graze.

To be continued.....

 "here we are" announces Jurvinal  in his characteristic rather sing song tone

Jurvinal "continues the people here where friendly but it has been some time since  I visited and there are rumours about this place I heard at the last town which make me fearful. These are troubled times in the hundred Kingdoms"

George stirs in his bed & believing Jurvinal, Kayoba nods to Laura and says "well I think we can handle this" in a quiet voice of command, however Laura knows him well enough to know he is not that confident & this is the training of the Dragon Blooded to take command kicking in, if it where Yofahu she could believe it but not so much Kayoba.

 The village consists of just over a dozen houses which are study and built of wood plastered with mud and roved with wooden shingles, these are surrounded by a larger number of more rickety out houses and animal pens. All the houses are in good repair but some of them at the west end of the village look very new as the wooden tiles are unweathered

No house looks that much more impresive than any other but there is a large scorch mark in the centre of the village marked out by painted stones

OOC With apologies for the delay as I have had a cold which has rather put me out of action of late but its clearing up so lets carry on


The scorch mark is an odd shape, but it is very tightly delineated one and seems to have been caused by something like a huge burst of flame which has hardened the earth like iron and blackened it. Nothing grows form it unlike the rest of the village square though the land  much trampled does sprout the odd patch of scrubby grass and weeds. The stones which edge it are all of a similar size and all have been very carefully placed and apparently white washed.
