Nova Glen is the kind of place where you go to leave your past behind and start a new life. It's a village built on the ruins of an old dwarven settlement destroyed by war, and around an ancient stone cathedral still run by monks who are the descendents of its only survivers.

Today dwarves, humans, elves, halflings and others are helping expand this tiny viillage from a stop-over on the river into a destination. Here lies a chance for heroes to uncover ancient ruins, buried treasure, and opportunities to get in on the ground floor of what coould become a new center of civilization.

Need a farming town for your fantasy campaign? Hearthwell is ready to drop into your game tonight!

This prosperous river community of 500 people sits along one of Corvindor's busiest waterways. Farmers, fishermen, merchants, and ferry captains all make their living here, and not everyone sees eye to eye. Independent farmers struggle to compete against the wealthy Allred family, while travelers come and go on everything from fishing boats to magic-powered steamboats.

Inside you'll find:

• A full-color town map

• 12 detailed locations, including a riverside inn, ferry station, watchtower, fairgrounds, marketplace, and chapel

• Local NPCs, plot hooks, and small-town rivalries

• A busy river port with regular ferry service to Port Corvus and other communities throughout Corvindor

• The setting for my adventures Rats on the Farm and Bread Dog, also available on this site

Whether your heroes are stopping for a hot meal at the Riverside Inn, catching the ferry to Port Corvus, or getting caught in a feud between local farmers, Hearthwell provides a memorable home base for adventures big and small.

Life is never boring in this little town on the river.
