Nho
4630 NHO (Village): Magical; AL N, TL 7; 200 gp limit; Assets 7,520 gp; Population 1,391 (Able bodied 402); Mixed (human 90% [mostly Common Viridian and Tharbrian, some Altanian], dwarf 4%, gnome 3%, goblin 3%); Re- sources: fish, artifacts (non-magical). Authority Figure: Melit Shazepan, male human N Ftr7 (sheriff); Shizzan Fillar, female gnome LN Clr7 (mayor). Important Characters: Ewitik Earthmaster, male dwarf N Exp5 (expedition lead); Graham the Incessant, male Common Viridian LE Wiz5 (expeditionary sage, deputy mayor); Dwilla Lodebottom, female Common Viridian CG Ftr4 (innkeeper); Kali Medpar IV, male Tharbrian NG Ftr4 (fisherman leader); Dexxel Modlet, male goblin NE Ftr2 (slave leader died exploring the ruins with the party when they discovered the sacred horn).
Due to the Harkarim Ruins to the South East, Nho has increased in size to support the influx of explorers and investigators. The original town council fell by the wayside, facilitating the takeover of control by a self-appointing council of wizards bent on
locating any and all secrets and devices of power still buried nearby.
The goblin slaves are kept in line by Dexxel, giving little reason for the dwarven and gnomish population to object too strongly to their reasonable treatment; an odd cultural twist certainly
note worthy to those coming here for the first time.
Recently, several slaves were lost in tunnels beneath the ruins, giving Graham and Ewitik cause to abandon further exploration until the problem can be determined and dealt with, directing the excavation efforts instead toward the untouched mounds of the ruins in the meantime.
Kali, once a low ranking member of a minor noble family, leads the fisher- men, keeping them held together as a formidable selling group, maintaining good prices for their catch. For what reason he is here is unsure as he refuses to discuss or address his past, especially when directly questioned about it.
The party uncovered some odd goings on, talk of sacrifice that was soon hushed up along with a fear of a raiding Ettin to the north.
One of the local huntsmen had seen the Iron Kettle fly over him when he was close to the valley haunted by Falsum the Unlucky a Black Dragon.
The Party cleared out the Ettins (14-16/3/4448) and their breeding grounds in the Glacis Fens. Here they rescued the Hobbit children Nettleblossom and Surefoot Shortshanks who they later took to saftey in Actun.
