→Until recently, this small farming village lay relatively unheard about. It wasn’t until the Cult of the Dragon infiltrated the village and Skyreach Castle appeared overhead that Parnast was finally put on the map.

→The History of Parnast

→Population: 70 in 1490 DR Themes: Distrust, backwater seclusion

→is a shrewd business woman with an unusual knack for bartering. She tolerates very little from those who aren't actively looking to part with some coin. Her loathing of the twins (Ipsin in particular) is almost legendary in the village; if she sees one of them headed her way, she is almost certain to shut and lock the door rather than let them into her shop to cause trouble.

→Hesther(HES-terr). Female human (Damaran). Hesther is an older woman and was widowed long ago when her husband was slain by an ogre. Since then, she has refused to take another husband, and insists on running the grocery herself. Thankfully, she is a shrewd business woman with an unusual knack for bartering. She tolerates very little from those who aren't actively looking to part with some coin. Her loathing of the twins (Ipsin in particular) is almost legendary in the village; if she sees one of them headed her way, she is almost certain to shut and lock the door rather than let them into her shop to cause trouble.

→Hesther usually has a good supply of high-quality, reasonably-priced equipment. She does not stock armor or weapons, instead referring any inquiries to "that ornery bastard's shop” (see Rold's Wagonright, below).

→This small shop has your typical general goods. As the Vale sees a good number of traders and merchants come through town on the way to the duchies,

→Verna Burdun (VURR-nuh burr-DOON). Female firbolg. Verna is loud and boisterous, and is more likely to be sharing a drink with a patron than serving them—something that causes her wife, Shae, no end of headaches. As friendly as she might be, however,

→The prices here are fair, the food is staggeringly good (and is largely to blame for the "fitness” of the majority of the Frontier Scouts), and there is usually a lute or shawm being played nearly every night. And, although the chairs and tables are just a little bit larger than most visitors are accustomed to, the Inn is a warm, cozy place.

→This large inn is owned by Verna Burdun, daughter of Tavis Burdun and brother to Wum Burdun (see Frontier Scouts, above).

→Typical Blood Rider. Most of the Blood Riders are human, although other humanoid races are represented. One thing they all share, however, is a desire to drive every last giant from Hartsvale— regardless of whatever truces or alliances the Good King makes. They view the Frontier Scouts as traitors to the Vale.

→Scarn M/'kel(SKARNMiCK-uhi). Human male. Scarn's entire family was slain by a band of goblins a score of years ago. Scarn lost an arm and an eye in the attack, but survived. Since then, a hatred for giants—and those that associate them—burns white- hot in his heart. He leads the small, but growing number of Blood Riders.

→They now operate against the wishes of the king, and can be seen patrolling the wilder reaches of the Vale—looking for giants foolish enough to stray too far from their own territory. The Blood Riders frequently clash with the active members of the Frontier Scouts, though such squabbles rarely end in bloodshed. How long that will remain true, however, remains to be seen.

→This fierce order of giant-killers has been inactive for hundreds of years, the recent increase in giant activity has pumped fire into their veins—igniting old hatreds.

→Location:The Cold Woods

→The Blood Riders

→Despite all of this, the scouts are fiercely proud of their order and its history. And when danger shows its face within the Vale, they bravely answer the call. They also know that shouting the order's motto (“Sound the Horn!", followed by whoops and howls) will, from time to time, get them free drinks at the Wear Giant.

→Typical Frontier Scout. The typical frontier scout is—for the most part—a farmer or craftsman first, and a scout second. While most of them know the basics of swinging a sword, most of them do not own one. And while basic suits of armor are available within the village's armor, most of the scouts are a bit stouter around the belly than they were when they first swore their oaths of allegiance.

→Wum seldom ventures into Stagwick; he considers the valleys and forests of the Vale to the chairs and tables of the Inn. As such, he is unaccustomed to strangers and typically avoids engaging in conversation. When he does speak, he does so brusquely and without tact—in his domain, his words are orders; not requests.

→Alabaster Throne upon his death, but Wum would have none of it. Wum is aware of the increase in giant activity in the area, and he is worried.
