Haven Cross

Location
Haven Cross is a town situated between Elinstad and Viren. It is a 4 day walk from Viren.

About
Haven Cross is a medium sized cross-roads town centred around a bustling adventurer's guild. The town is far smaller than Elinstad or Viren and seems to have a large transient population of adventurers working for the guild who are constantly coming and going.

People and Places
Haven Cross is ruled by Lord Nathaniel Haven, who also founded the town. He resides on the uppermost floor of the Adventurer's Guild.

The Adventurer's Guild is the main point of the town. It is managed by Wiseman Bill (also known as William the Wise), with various receptionists including Nick Moragon handling day-to-day affairs.

The Drunken Horse's Inn is another highlight of the town. It is currently owned by Hilda, with the previous owner, Huroda, having died during the Battle of Haven Cross.

The town also sports a General Store, owned by John Mercy and a Blacksmith. Also, there is a temple to the goddess of luck, Tymora, located within the outer wall.

History
Originally a bandit camp, Haven Cross was conquered by Lord Haven in order to provide a safe route between Elinstad and Viren. The town sprung up in order to defend the point, however some older residents were not happy with the way this had occurred.

At the start of the campaign, Haven Cross was a happy place, with the Adventurer's Guild providing jobs such as finding a lost dog, but things quickly got darker. Soon the party found themselves transporting military supplied from Viren as the town fortified itself and prepared for battle against the bandits, who had come to take back Haven Cross.

A large portion of the population of Haven Cross sought refuge in Elinstad, while most of those remaining hid within the walls of the Adventurer's Guild, however not all made it inside.

The town was mostly destroyed during the battle, with only the Adventurer's Guild being left unscathed. It is currently probably rebuilding, but there's no way to know what's happening there right now.
