Red Larch

An unassuming little halfling town situated along a main travel route, Red Larch is a common rest stop for travellers making their way from or towards the city of Einhorn. It earned its name for its most striking landmark: a larch tree of uncommon size, the leaves of which grew in autumnal colours regardless of season. (The tree no longer stands, fallen victim to a lightning strike several years ago.) It is also Nothing's home town.

Red Larch is where the Team Jailbird Campaign began - specifically, the tiny town jail.

Locations within Red Larch

The Bended Bough: Tavern, "the local". Used to stand directly beside Red Larch's namesake tree, which is now naught but a broken stump. Decent enough fare when it comes to drink and food, but zero tolerance for tavern brawling - don't start shit in the local. The original Fantasy Wetherspoons.

The Wandering Elk: Tavern situated along the main road, mainly caters to travellers passing through who need somewhere to stop for food and a room. Livelier in atmosphere and the regulars are less cliquey than The Bended Bough, caters better for those of taller stature.

The Green Dragon: Another tavern? Kind of a dive, not in the 'it's a gross pub' way but in the 'no, but seriously, there's only two people in here and the shelves are barely stocked' way. Turned out to be a front, covering the entrance to a network of smugglers' caves.

Moira's house: The place to go for poultices, salves, and a quick Cure Wounds, assuming Moira is awake to provide her medical assistance. Smells rather...herbal. Probably from all the herb Moira's smoking.

The Baron's Manor: A modest manor-house at the top of town, complete with well-kept garden and grand foyer - decorative suits of armour and everything. Home to the Baron of Red Larch and presumably any of his live-in staff. Great place to nick silverware.

Town Jail: It's a little jail - basically just a brick building with a handful of cells. Manned by Alf, should his presence be needed there, but most of the time it's sort of a glorified street-rat sleepover venue.

Courthouse: It's the courthouse. Venue for petty civil disputes and handing-out of judgements.

Church: Never visited in-game, but there is one. Nothing grew up there before she ran away.
