Description

Needelwood is a very calm and quiet settlement situated on the borders of Covania and Reton. Located on the South-West Shore.

There are a handful of retired or injured Adventurers in Needelwood, Taking up a new occupation or cruising along on their amassed treasure.
Most of the locals are rather plump or over-weight. Visitors will notice everyone even the town guards are on the larger side but it will become apparent quickly when they stumble upon the town's bakery for the first time. If visitors had not already herd stories of the award winning Tabaxi Baker then they will certainly sing her praises right after the first bite.

The town is located within the far edge of possibly the largest forest in the Wyncook plains, Which isn’t saying much as most forest in this region are very light and sparce.
It gets the name Needlewood from the trees that grow around, Having needle like leaves and lightly thorned branches. The forest where the town is located being mostly made up of these needle-like trees.

Its become somewhat of a tradition. Now not all the town guards are filled out like this. Requests are made to QueensTown by the mayor whenever the number of guards drops bellow a certain amount.
They are lead by the Guard Captain who is normally nominated by the guards and approved of by the Mayor.

The Mayor's house is quite the lavish building, Built early into the town's life it has seen many renovations and expansions over the years.

It also doubles as a Town hall. Being the place the town can gather for community discussion and announcements. People are also able to bring forth any concerns, problems or other news directly to the Mayor's office here.

A temple of Lathander that handles all of Needlewoods Religious services, Weddings, Funeral, Oaths, Curse removal etc. All available general services you would expect to find at a remote religious temple.
The Temple attracts many travellers, Adventures seeking healing and other followers of Lathander stopping by during a journey or Pilgrimage.

Its mostly built of stone and glass, Probably the oldest building in town it has been worn down with age but still stands strong. The stone walls have all manor of plants growing in and around the stone work. The plants are left to grow but are kept neat and tidy with magic and labour to prevent overgrow.

Service is held every morning as the sun rises but few towns folk attend every single day. Most take their prayers once a week wile others don't go at all. there is no discrimination for towns folk's level of faith.

The harbour is about an hour South-West of town by horse-back. It is an Average size harbour able to dock ships as big as general merchant and passager. The trade ships that dock here are often delivering supplies and exporting goods from Needlewood. Most ships at the harbour are fishing vessels from Needlewood, Going out to sea to collect tier haul and returning. one privately owned smaller ship is owned by a retired adventurer who occasionally sails out to find treasure.
The harour itself has developed quickly over the years. It has its own smaller tavern as well as a few homes for people living down by the harbour permanently.
Like Most Harbours in Felwind there are a number of Triton working and/or living here. Tritons never stray far from the Ocean so a number of the occupied the homes along the harbour's edge.
Those tat work on the harbour take the community carts in the morning and return on them in the afternoon.
