+===== Outer Settlements =====
+These settlements are outside the formal March that Sir Kendric is responsible for, and have been settled by entrepreneurs looking to make a name, and a home, for themselves.
+==== Halfling Cove ====
+{{ :the_old_frontier:litwin_cove.png?100|}}[[Halfling Cove]] Once the lair of pirates and bandits, Halfling Cove is a collection of huts, built on pilings, in the swamps, and the further east of all the settlements in The March. Since it's 'liberation' it has become a home for halflings, who want to establish a community of their own, many of whom are ex-slaves who fear recapture, while some just want to live a quiet, and traditional, life - or at least as much as they can. They aren't the only race here, but they are in the majority. Life is based on items they can find, or cultivate, in the wetlands that surround them, including cheese made from Water Cow milk, which is exported to Edgemoor and Castledorm. Unlike most other places, there is no nominated leader, and no-one acts on behalf of the community, rather there is a 'sort of' communal arrangement, where everyone is seen as having a share of the benefits.
+==== The Quarry ====
+{{ :the_old_frontier:the_quarry.png?100|}}**[[the_quarry|The Quarry]]** is a Forest Village where some dwarves, under ++Thorhilda Brightstone|{female, dwarf, LG Expert2/Warrior2}++ cut limestone.  There is a simple shop, an unusual shrine, a tavern and a tanning yard, as well as a number of huts for hunters and trappers.  It is connected to Iron Keep by a well-marked trail, and to the Coal Lake settlements by the Yittis ferry.
+==== Iron Keep ====
+{{  :consolidated:hann_empire:the_old_frontier:ironkeep.png?100|}}[[Iron Keep]] is a Dwarven holding set deep in the forest.  Most of it is underground, of course, and it is still early in the holding's development. Once home to an unfriendly group of Kobolds, the dwarves mine and smelt iron here.
+While the holding is in the early stages of development, it still produces weapons and armour for sale.  Jagit, the main smith, is capable of producing masterwork and ++magic|(+1 only)++ weapon and armour, although she rarely has much stock in hand.  You can probably get a dagger, hammer or steel shield ready-made, but anything else needs to be ordered.  Mundane items can be produced ++quite quickly|(less than the time specified in the crafting rules)++, but MW and magical items take longer.  That said, it all depends on ow nice your DM feels at the time.
