Trostenwald

Trostinwald is a small town in the Marrow Valley in the Western Wynandir region of Wildemount. The town is bordered by the blue waters of the Usterlock. The town is under the rule of the Dwendalian Empire and is a trade stop on the Amber Road. The town also serves as the place where the new party first meets.

The town is most notable for it's unique strain of grain and wheat, which led to a boom in breweries around the turn of the century. Of the initial glut of breweries, three brewer families have survived and prospered to this day. The town now primarily exports fish, crops and ale.

When the party arrive in the town, there is a new visiting carnival called "The Flatchling and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities". This carnival is the site of a zombie attack that the new party helped stop.

The town also has a contingent of Crown's Guard who act as law enforcement for the town.

The Nestled Nook Inn
This inn is where the party first meet, and the first location described for the second campaign. Caleb and Nott slept in a second floor room of this inn after an apparently rough evening. Beauregard, Fjord and Jester met a patron at this inn to collect payment, which in turn led to the two groups meeting.

Employees
Yorda, the 40 something year old woman barkeep, rents out the rooms and seems to manage the inn. She had shoulder length blonde hair and weathered skin.

Adelyn, a redhead barmaid who rushed from table to table taking orders and goes to and from the back kitchen to get meals for customers. Yorda - “Adelyn! Two more brights and a bit of mush to the corner table!” "Adelyn - “I'm working on it!”"

The Flatchling and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities
Having their first show on the first day of Grissen*, the carnival had set up east of the Lock Ward to the Ustilocks southern place, this carnival was where Mollymauk and Yasha worked as entertainers. The main tent was circular, dark blue and had lengthy streamers of white and silver attached to the top of it.

This carnival became the site of a ravenous zombie attack when an old man suddenly keeled over and transformed. The party was able to kill the zombie with minimal casualties. However, all of the performers, except Yasha, were arrested on suspicion by Sir Flynn, a captain of the Crown's Guard.

Members

 * Gustav. The leader of the carnival troop, he is a half-elven man wearing a sort of tophat that is floppy towards the top.
 * A lanky man of obvious elven descent. He had ashy brown hair that curved ever so slightly past his mid back. His long coat and tails knocked around his skipping step. He leads the procession towards the carnival tent.
 * Toya. Dwarven girl, maybe 12 years of age with braided golden hair. She had been singing with the carnival for over two years. She had no family and was found singing in the streets for change. Gustav saw and seized an opportunity to utilize the girl's talents giving the girl a family she didn't have.
 * Mona and Yuli the Nott sister. Women in full bodysuits, sporting serpentine makeup consisting of scales affixed to their face and arms. Extremely flexible and nimble, they are contortionist able to almost form one form out of their two bodies. They were seen dancing from side to side handing flowers to children and flyers to the adults during the procession towards the carnival tent.
 * A bald man in a filled frock coat of bright red. His face was adorned with vibrant orange makeup to look like the setting sun. He followed the two sisters in the procession towards the carnival tent playing a fiddle. During the performance, he was seen to
 * Bo the Breaker. A tall and muscular half-orc man of greenish-grey skin. Well put together with a well-groomed handlebar mustache that curves out to the sides. He wears a billowing white silk shirt and black trousers. He followed behind the bald man in the procession leading to the carnival tent and was seen to play a large drum which he had slung over his shoulder.
 * Mollymauk. Following Bo the Breaker in the procession towards the carnival tent he was seen to walk in place and juggle two curved scimitars. He also used a deck of cards to read people's fortune for which he charged 2cp for a simple reading.
 * Orna the fire fairy. A woman of short fiery red hair, and dark skin. She wore a simple dress of golds and reds. She wields a pair of metallic fans alight with flame. Following Mollymauk in the procession, she held a small candle up towards her lips and caused a gout of flame to burst out of her mouth, which brightened the vicinity and caused the townsfolk to collectively gasp.
 * Yasha. A burly looking pale woman, with arms crossed she followed behind the procession keeping an eye as a security guard and made sure that no business got out of hand. She was mentioned to have helped in putting up the carnival tent. During the performance, she confiscated and hold the parties weapons since you can't see the show if you bring a weapon.

Attendees

 * A clueless and gullible farmer who came to have his fortune read from Mollymauk. He was suffering from a sickness in the form of a cough he'd had for three to four months. Mollymauk suggests breathing a tincture and that perhaps getting the cough looked at by a physitian.
