NATURE & THE LAND

Terrain
Climate & Weather
Hazards
Major Fauna
Major Flora

Ashen Plain. Around Oakhurst, the soil goes from very fertile to drifts of ash where nothing will grow. Likely the result of the violent eruption of Mount Rolnith some 20 years ago.

The Old Road. This is an ancient dragonborn road, that once ran through an important province in these parts. It is now mostly overgrown and in several places sluices out of the sides of the road reveal the three layers (sand, gravel, flagstones) of the road. It is rarely used, as most traffic goes by boat, though with the recent establishment and growth of Phandalin, the road is seeing more trafffic than usual.

HISTORY & EVENTS

Rumours
(See many form the main Singing Skull Island list too. These are rumours just to do with town).

1. Twig blights are a problem around Oakhurst and along the Old Road.
2. Sir Bradford, the paladin of Pelor, carried the legendary sword, Shatterspike.
3. A druid rules the goblins (likely Belak that went to the Rift alone several years ago) and he is responsible for growing the magical apples the goblins bring to town.
4. Seeds from the Golden Apple sprout into saplings overnight, but the goblins come and remove them so no one else can grow a golden apple.
5. The boar's head over the fire place at the inn is from the forest. There are other boar in there for those brave enough.
6. The boar's head over the fire place in the inn is a fake.
7. The boar's head over the fire place at the inn was hunted and killed by the inn's founder, the dragonborn warlock, Gorahadur.

Recent Events (Last year)

Month	Event	Notes (such as ongoing)
Tamara	Red Corsairs raid	Bonita the Red led three ships into harbour. Whilst most pirates caroused around the docks, Bonita led a small force inland to the Cliff Abbey where the monks of the White Raven supposedly protected the Scrolls of Eternity. Bonita was stopped by one of the monks and a group of adventurers - The Waves of Destiny.
Tamara	Summer Solstice Apple Purchased by Collective	When no one came forth with the need (or money) to buy the large pure apple the goblins brought to town following the Summer Solstice, a group of locals at the Old Boar Inn all pitched in and bought it in case there was a need.
Io'lor	Local Adventurers Leave for the Rift	The two House Hucrele children, along with local ranger Karakas (male human) and new arrival, Sir Bradford (male half-elf paladin of Pelor).

Recent History (Last 20 years)

Year	Event	Notes (such as ongoing)
1362	Goblins Arrive with First Summer Apple	Goblins brought a golden apple of rare size and purity to town to 'auction'. They claimed it had healing powers, and since that proved true, the goblins have continued to bring one such apple every Summer Solstice since. (Sometimes they offer a white apple in the dead of Winter too. This apple is poisonous).
1361	Druid Belak Headed for the Rift	Belak was memorable for his giant tree frog companion and townsfolk thought it odd a druid would be interested in the Rift. Like many others, he never returned.

General History

Year	Event	Notes (such as ongoing)
c1290	Old Boar Inn established	Dragonborn warlock, Gorahadur, established the inn. He ran the establishment for 20 odd years before anti-dragonborn sentiment drove him from the town.
