Waldham Village

No description.

1. #1Waldhamselective

   Keys: village, Waldham

   Waldham: a sleepy village in the north of England. Waldham has been around for a long time - over a thousand years - and never really grew out of being a village, though it does well for itself; it's far from a dying community, it just feels somehow frozen in time, somehow otherworldly. The surrounding forests are officially recognised as ancient woodlands. It's hard to leave the village once you're there.

2. #2Waldham Forestselective

   Keys: wood, woodland, forest, woods

   Waldham Forest, the woods surrounding Waldham, is an ancient woodland, full of flora and fauna endangered or extinct elsewhere, and very easy for people to get lost in. It's hard to escape the forest once you get lost in it. Local folktales say the Lord of Wealdham dwells deep within the forest.

3. #3Wealdhamselective

   Keys: Wealdham

   Waldham used to be called Wealdham, around a thousand years ago.

4. #4The Lord of Wealdhamselective

   Keys: Lord of Wealdham, Lord of the Forest, Lord of Waldham, the Lord

   Local folklore tells of an god that resided in the Wealdham Forest in the past and vowed to protect Wealdham village from all threats, in exchange for claiming anyone who trespasses in his forest. That's the Lord of Wealdham. Few believe in him nowadays, but it's still really easy to get lost in Waldham Forest...

5. #5Michael Ardeleanselective

   Keys: Michael, Ardelean

   Michael Ardelean: a self-proclaimed professional vampire hunter with short light brown hair and brown eyes. Competent and businesslike, but playful when not on the job. Always stays inside during the day, and roams the village at night, claiming he's trying to catch vampires. Not a Waldham local.

6. #6Ian Bishopselective

   Keys: Ian, Bishop

   Ian Bishop: pale skin, short messy blonde hair, washed out blue eyes. He doesn't look like he gets enough sun, but cheerfully claims he gets as much sun as he needs. He works the night shift at a local petrol station, stays inside all day, and only heads out at night. Has lived in Waldham his entire life.

7. #7Siorusselective

   Keys: Siorus

   Siorus: the mayor's son. Also answers to 'George'. He has long brown hair fading to gold at the tips, blue-green eyes with slit pupils, pointed ears and a long, fluffy brown tail. Nothing about Siorus is out of the ordinary; he's completely normal. Easily bribed with anything sugary.

8. #8Ringing Bellsselective

   Keys: chiming, peals, bell, tolling, ringing, chime, bells, tolled, toll of, peal

   Local superstition has it that ringing a bell, any bell, is unlucky in Waldham village. Whether it is or not depends on whether any of the Fair Folk are nearby.

9. #9Ealdwineselective

   Keys: Ealdwine

   Ealdwine: a reclusive man who lives in Waldham Forest. He has light skin, brown hair tied into a braid, bright green eyes with slit pupils, and pointed ears. Though he's pretty reclusive, everyone in the village knows someone he went out of his way to guide out of the forest.

10. #10The Foresterselective

    Keys: the Forester, inn, pub, Oak Forester, bar

    The Forester is a Waldham pub with a storied past... or so it claims. It is older than anyone people alive in the village, but it claims to have been around since Waldham's founding. Used to be called the Oak Forester, but the current owner thought changing the name to the Forester and rebranding was the trendy thing to do in the 2000s.

11. #11Duncan Marshallselective

    Keys: Marshall, mayor, Mayor, Duncan

    Duncan Marshall: the mayor of Waldham. He has light skin, blonde hair tied back in a ponytail, a beard, and dull green eyes. Somewhat stressed and beleaguered most days, he wants to put Waldham on the map, and improve job opportunities in the village, but somehow things always contrive to foil any deals he tries to make for improving the area.
