Vesper

The village of Vesper after the Narim War was neglected and nearly abandoned by the youth that were the life blood and future of the village. Only the elders and those too poor to go anywhere else stayed behind. The close proximity to the orc forces at Narim made Vesper a desolate place. Little trade, no entertainment, no solid structures except one remained. The Legions took anything that might have been useful to the orcs nevermind what the residents were going to do after they took everything of value.

The village was still nothing more than a fishing village as anyone could see along the coast. The only solid structure was a large one-story building that was a large single room meeting hall used by the whole village for communal gatherings. Out front of the meeting hall was a well and beside that was a run-down watch tower. The stairs leading up onto the raised platform were worn and the whole tower shook when people climbed on it. At the top of the tower was an alarm bell. It had been rung just recently last era to warn the residents of the Narim attack.

There were no walls, no fortifications, and no garrison left to defend the village. From the top of the watch tower, the approaches to the village were easily seen. Fields surrounded the village on all sides and the dirt road that led away from the village center was the only link to the outside world.

The homes that are scattered around the village were all thatched roof single room hovels. The life of the village were the four boat docks that were at the edge of the coast a short walk from the village center. Old boats lying along the path to the docks were proof of the glory days of the fishing history this village was well known for. Old hooks and torn nets still hide in the grasses as well.
