Here's a map I made for fun in Inkarnate about the largest settlement on the borders of the Hochgran Woodlands where my beastmen reside. Things are subject to change or edits on the map fyi.

>The Grand Village of Rheiden

Rheiden has a population of roughly 1,300 souls. Most are farmers, loggers, or craftsmen, with the rest made up of traders, priests, and wealthier burghers. The village lies upon a major road, frequented by those traveling west to Grenzburg or beyond that onto Wolfenburg at the foot of the Middle Mountains, or else heading north to the Kislevite port of Erengrad.

Its lifeblood is logging and trade, with only a meagre surplus gained from subsistence farming. The village is divided into four main areas: the commoner quarter, the upper and lower burgher quarters, the guard district, and the noble quarter perched on the highest hill overlooking Rheiden.

The settlement is ruled by the Gemeindherr, the village lord. In the year 2276 this office is held by Archibald von Kraftstal, once a boisterous knight of the Empire. Age has not been kind to him: Archibald has grown fat and complacent, ruling from his hilltop manor where he hosts lavish feasts for minor nobles and wealthy merchants from nearby towns.

Beyond him, the most powerful families are the Derevoka and Tredfell, rival logging guilds whose auctions dominate market days. Their wealth and competition fuel much of the village’s intrigue.

In 2270, Rheiden was attacked by the nascent beastmen warherd of the Horned Moon-Kin, who breached the gates and advanced as far as the Adelring's stone walls before being driven off by the town’s handgunners. They left most of Rheiden in flames as they were driven back to the dark forest.

Today, life continues, villagers trade, work, and pray, yet all are watchful of the treeline. The woodcutters of the great families no longer dare venture as deep into the Hochgran as the forest seems darker than before.
