The Ery Villages

The Ery Villages—High Ery and Erybend—lie nestled in the gentle, fertile uplands south of Greyhawk and east of the Gnarley Forest, not far from the road that runs toward the Wild Coast. Though modest in size and scope, these twin farming villages play a quiet but vital role in feeding the bustling Free City of Greyhawk.

Despite their differences, High Ery and Erybend are economically interlinked and collectively referred to as “the Erylands.” They share a common market day every Starday at a roadside green between the villages, where fresh goods are carted for trade caravans bound for Greyhawk.

Though rivalries exist—especially over which village produces better ale or prettier harvest festivals—the two communities band together when threatened. Banditry from the Wild Coast, strange sightings near the Gnarley Forest, or trouble along the Greyhawk trade roads can bring out the stubborn courage of the Eryfolk.

Together, the Ery Villages offer a blend of rural charm, hidden mystery, and a subtle web of intrigue just beneath the golden fields and apple-laden trees.
