Oakhearth, 3rd of The First Seed, 1486

Oakhearth

Oakhearth is a village located between Annil'sul, Embermoor and The forests of Aldrallan The village was founded on 18th of Snow's Maiden, 1468. Oakhearth is surrounded by a thick forest and a swamp along with the ruins and remainings of old structures. Oakhearth currently has four cottages and one Tavern along with a livestock and a small farm.


History

Oakhearth was founded by Noach Hughes, A forester who had spent most of his time exploring the surrounding area.

Years passed before more people started to settle down in Oakhearth and four houses were raised along with a tavern. During his lonely years, Noach started explore the ruins and the old structures in the forest and heath nearby. The remainings of a Dark Cultist Cemetery and several Barrows are the reminder of the evil influence of Cultists and Undead in Athera. Both of these places are haunted and long forgotten.

The ruins of a small chapel can be found in the Heath south of Oakhearth, a journal found in one of the bookcases revealed that the chapel was pillaged and destroyed in 1471 in a raid lead by a group of undead worshippers.

After a time, it became apparent to those who knew of Oakhearth, that its founder had gone missing. Not wanting to see Noach Hughes' work go to waste, two Druids by the names of Garun and Arinislia decided to reside just outside the village. They began keeping a watchful eye over the quaint southern lands, defending it from any evils that sought to disrupt the peace.
