Bromkiln Byway

The  was a well-carried road that saw a lot of foot traffic, leading through Wildemount from Deastok to Berleben.

Description
A few hours north of Zadash, the road crossed the Amber Road and continued further to the east through the Lebenda Swamp straight to Berleben.

Zadash to the Lebenda Swamp
To the east of the crossing a mile of the road, was a small localized valley over one of the larger hills. In this valley was a small tanners’ shack nestled between a small cluster of trees, a bit of natural rock formations and the edge of a small forest cluster. Further down the road there was a small forest two or three miles in diameter.

The Tanners’ Shack
The shack was not more than 20 feet by 20 feet in size, with a brick chimney on top, and walls made out of simple masonry and stones lodged together. The roof was ramshackled and the end was weathered over time into a downward curve. It had two doors, one at the front locked with a large metal rod and one at the back. The shack had one window at the front with no glass in it.

On the outside there was a tanning easel, and a wood chopping block with an axe embedded and left in it with couple of pieces of firewood off to the side. At the back of the shack there were a couple of cured and salted meats that are hanging from the back of the roof.

The inside of the shack was fairly bare, but hanging from the walls there were lots of skinned and cured furs from wolves, badgers, and other different creatures that were brought in for the tanning process. There was a handmade piece of hide armor that had been recently stained.

The Tanner The tanner was an elderly full-blood orc. His head wreathed and tangled grey coarse hair, like a crown around the top of the head that goes past the mouth and over the chest. A foot-long beard around his chin that ends at about the bottom of the sternum. Muscular and hunched, his grey-green skin looks thick and weathered, and folded crow's nests under where the nose and the mouth is, his two heavy tusks protruding from underneath the lower jaw. His eyes are sunken and bloodshot, around the side of the yellow sclera.
