====== Old Keep ======

The first independent March-Hold in the Southern Region is not a place for the faint-hearted, nor city dwellers, it is intended to celebrate and preserve country skills and the wilderness as best it can.  The Village boasts a Garrison (large enough to patrol the surrounding hexes) and a great shrine dedicated to Gozreh.  A Holy Grove sits squarely on the trail between Old Keep and Tatzleford, which offers travellers a safe haven as well as supporting a small local community.  Oldkeep's economy if based on sustainable hunting, logging and fishing.
