Beury

🔈 (BUH-ree)

A large farming village six miles downriver of Cleenseau and the principle (and only) village in the Manor of Beury. There are about ninety sturdy houses here, many of which predate the hobgoblin wars, although the village was abandoned for several years in the 1640s.

The houses are arranged in two tight concentric circles around a main square, where the one-story wooden manor house sits, as does the slightly larger stone temple of The Father, the blacksmith, and two wells. The entire village, save for the small inn and mill (see below), fit within a thousand-foot diameter circle. There is a well-made wooden wall surrounding the outer circle of houses, although the inn and mill are outside the wall.

Beyond the second circle of houses, straddling the Great South Road is a nameless inn, usually just called “the inn in Beury” (or sometimes, jokingly, “Bee’s Rest”). The inn is more of a stable and resting spot for caravans before crossing the boggy wetlands to Dallet than a proper inn, and the food and drink are notably lacking. Many caravans resting here simply camp in the yard. Across the road and a few dozen feet from the inn is a sturdy stone millhouse.

A small market is held in the caravan yard once a week, which attracts some of the people from Asineau and Ganboa.
