Help me build some interesting social encounters (Falcons Hollow)


Advice


Hey guys, I'm paying the Falcons Hollow book line and what some help fleshing out the town and making it feel real. My book order is:
Hollow's Last Hope => Crown of the Kobold King => The Pallid Plague => Carnival of Tears => Revenge of the Kobold King => Tower of The Last Barron => Treasure of Chimera Cove => Hungry are the Dead => Tears at Bitter Manor => Realm of the Fell-knight Queen

I'm custom editing each adventure to match my players power, so they are really just templates for me. In between books i want to play 1-2 custom sessions were i introduce different NPC's.

Here is a list of the NPC's that i have so far, and a shot Description:
