Editing Enregard Brewer (section)

===Locations===

* Near the river where Enregard carries the barrels of ale for
transport, Greep has shown him the location of a well-concealed
cave high up on a butte along the river shore. This cave has
a long history due to the smuggling trade, and has seen use as
a bandit hideout, a place to store kidnap victims, and, of
course, a storage grotto for illicit materials. The cave has
been expanded into three separate chambers, and contains a
limited quantity of supplies, containers, sleeping bunks, and
lots of trash. It suffers from an unwholesome smell, but is a
safe hideaway.

* To the south of the town is a small grotto. Inside is a tough,
gnarly ancient Oak tree that towers over the other growths.
The trunk of the tree is hollow, although the bole is difficult
to spot without a search. It climbs up to the remains of an
old elven treehouse, now delapidated and fallen into ruin.
Still something of the original form and magnificence can be
seen by those who find it. The house is well-concealed by the
massive tree, which is why it has never been destroyed.

* '''Rimaegel''' is a very old structure, easily the oldest in the
village. Legend holds that it was built during the second age
by skilled dwarven artisans, and its sturdy old stone walls and
deep foundation have survived the numerous depradations of the
lands. After the dwarves were defeated and driven into their
holdfasts, the Rimaegel came to be a home of men, as its high
vaulted ceiling and roomy cellar were worthy of their stature.

This building was the founding structure of the village, and
the remaining rustic structures sprang up about it. The cellars
are used to brew a quality ale based on an old family recipe
handed down from generation to generation. Indeed so valued is
this brewery that it is suffered to prosper in spite of the
aggregious taxations of the ruling tyrants. In exchange for a
substantial shipment of ale to the overlord and his troops,
the owner of the Rimaegel is granted license to sell its product
without overburdensome taxes or fear of enslavement.

For this purpose the cellar of the Rimaegel has a safe room
where those fleeing from the occupiers can hide. Despite
repeated searches of the structure, this hiding place has
never been discovered. Yet this safe room is just the tip of
a hidden and forgotten complex built by the old dwarven clans.
One secret tunnel leads to a well-concealed cave near a stream
bank, and it is to here that the smuggler Greep journeys to
store his goods and pass along information.
