  A village in the Manor of Cleenseau, the Barony of Aveil, Sembara, Greater Sembara

A small hamlet in the Cleenseau Region on the edge of the Cleenseau Wood, a mile and a half north of Cleenseau along a dirt track. The small hamlet is mostly woodcutters, charcoal makers, and pig farmers and is part of the manor of the Lord of Cleenseau. It consists of about a ten buildings, only one of which is notable: a large, two story stone building with three large oak trees carved on the lintel, the home to Perrin Voclain. It is said this was once holy to a Kestavo of the wood, who has long since departed.

There is a small shrine to the Wildling attached to Perrin’s house, with several ancient oak trees, which mostly serves as a burial plot for the hamlet. Perrin tends to this shrine.

In the late fall of 1719, was the site of several spider attacks from giant spiders that came from the Cleenseau Wood. Perrin Voclain and the Heroes of Cleenseau were instrumental in saving the hamlet, which was abandoned for about a week in late 1719. Despite this, the town lost about of third of it’s population.

The ongoing corruption from these spiders later caused several orchards and timber groves to become corrupted and die, until healed by Robin.
