Market Square
The Nerath Campaign & The Nerath Timeline
The current year for our Nerath campaign is set during the year 103AE.
Inspired By Gary Gygax
The majority of the Winterhaven folk live above the bluffs in Hightown and walk down to do business on the streets of Lowtown, which bustle with commerce. This wide square is an open area, full of shops and portable stalls where Winterhaven merchants and visiting traders do business during good weather. The town’s children gather here for games of tag or kick-stones.

Every other day or so, carts and wagons gather in the square and offer goods to the people of Winterhaven. Once each week, the official Market Day acts as a siren’s song, calling most of the city folk to shop and socialize in the square. Farmers sell produce, hunters hawk smoked meats, villagers sell crafts, and sometimes a trader from distant locations sells implements or costly goods.

"On any given day, there is a 50% chance that items from the adventuring gear list in the Player’s Handbook are available for sale here." Adventurers will almost never find armor, weapons, implements, or magic items in the market square, however.

Winterhaven Watch House
The Nerath Campaign & The Nerath Timeline
The current year for our Nerath campaign is set during the year 103AE.
Inspired By Gary Gygax
In the far corner from the main gate of the settlement of Winterhaven sits a large building where the Captain of the Winterhaven Regulars coordinates his detachment of soldiers, and where miscreants serve their sentences. The Winterhaven Captain of the Guard is Rond Kelfem, a serious looking male human around 40 years of age, when on duty he is always dressed smartly in his guard uniform. Golden epaulets and higher quality arms and armor easily make him distinguishable from the common city militia. He commands a small force of guards who keep Winterhaven relatively safe.

The Winterhaven Watch House stands at the intersection of Winter Way and Stonehenge Road. The watch house is a base for the Winterhaven Regulars and also serves as a barracks for some of the militia themselves. Also a part of the building "in the basement" is the Winterhaven jail. The watch house also has a rather large armory "which is located in the back of the main floor and very well secured". Usually, four, sometimes six Winterhaven Regulars are present in the watch house at any given time, either hearing public complaints, guarding the jail, or sleeping.

The barracks is located on the second floor containing multiple bunks for sleeping. The jail which is located in the basement has a dozen cells. Each cell is approximately 20 square feet in size.
