Pernstead
This is the largest village on a large, boggy island settled between the Penmeard Woods in Barlea and the coast of Beyham. Though the island is technically Beyham's property, the island is mostly bogs and thick woods unsuitable for humans to live in. The majority of Pernstead's residents are elves and the occasional human in the odd reversal of roles, few humans brave enough to want to settle in the area and many calling the island “bewitched.” There are many legends of powerful witches who vanish living within the swamps, and some stories that even say some of the bogs are filled with ancient pools of Fae magic. However, few humans who go adventuring into the island return. Survivors tell of great monsters that no arrow can fell, lightning sand, rodents of unusual size, and how the island defends itself to consume you. Should you find yourself on the island but away from the coast settlements, remember: don't drink the water, don't eat the mushrooms, and whatever you do, don't go to sleep!
