The region you are in is the Duchy of Niebold, in the kingdom of Lobraan. The ruler of the duchy is Duke Garilund Durdigan, who lives in a keep atop the large hill in the center of town. Niebold is mostly filled with forests, and is inhabited mainly by humans. However, there's a sizable population of elves and shifters, and the mushroom-like myconians dwell deep within the forest. Sometimes the mushroom men come to Hawk Hill to trade, but rarely do they stay for long. The other races found in the Player's Handbook are found in Hawk Hill as well, but to a lesser extent. The most populous of them are the dwarves (mostly associated with a merchant company owned by the Klondurain clan) and the halflings (they seem to own many of the popular businesses in town, including a tavern called the Spinning Coin and a shop called Goldenfoot's).
About 30 miles south of Hawk Hill, on the shore of the Lake of Lost Whispers, lies the small fishing village of Marenta. Meanwhile, there's two settlements to the north of Hawk Hill: The elf village of Barrale (located a ways into the Velias Wood) and the village of Karin (comprised mostly of humans and shifters).
Popular religions of the region include the Unbroken Circle (Avandra, Corellon, Melora, and Sehanine) and the Church of the Light (Bahamut and Pelor). There's a temple for each in Hawk Hill.
There are rumors of a thieves' guild operating in town, and some say that it's part of a much larger organization, but there has been no solid evidence to prove that they exist.
Weird... all I see is Evil Genius's very first post. Everything else we've posted since then seems to have vanished... am I the only one with this problem???
No. The board hiccuped when Evil first posted the Discussion intro, and two copies showed up. The one we've been talking on should still be here.
EDIT: It's here
