==Hobs Shire==

Named for the infestation of hobgoblins that long ago kept this fertile land from being used, numerous hamlets and villages crowd in to take advantage of the pleasing fruit trees and good growing conditions.

Notable settlements include Apple Hall, Cherry Pond, and Kaitlen's Walk.  These small communities offer up a "fair" share of their bounty to the Splendor, with most of the rest going to secular leaders.  Still, there is enough to avoid starvation during all but the worst growing seasons.

Dangers of Hobs Shire include cults that worship the native gods, including the alien and twisted fertility goddess (and goddess of centipedes and other such creatures) that the hobgoblins once venerated.  There are also a few degenerate communities where human and hobgoblin blood have mixed.

Marisee the Peddlar travels in the rural communities around the shire, and can be found anywhere within 2 hexes of this one. Occasionally, she goes past those boundaries, but never into the bigger cities, such as Splendor. How she has managed to survive alone in these travels for the last decade is unknown, though many an isolated hamlet has appreciated a visit.
