Black Hollow
Demographics
Black Hollow is comprised entirely of white humans, minus the odd adventurer that passes through the village.
Government
Black Hollow is run by a small village council that is elected every 3 years by the male members of the village who are over the age of 22 and are landowners. Women, servants, non-land owners, and young people have no power whatsoever within Black Hollow. The Black Hollow Council is in charge of deciding village events, local taxes, and in times of danger what they will do.
Defences
Black Hollow only has a small wooden palisade that surrounds it with two gates, one to the south and one to the north, guarded by the town guards who are elected by the Black Hollow Council.

Infrastructure
Black Hollow is an extremely small town so the infrastructure is not very impressive, other than some farms, the main village with a few dirt roads running throughout it, and a single watermill that is hooked up to the mill. It is at the mill where the grain from the harvests is taken to be ground into flour and then distributed to the townspeople. They are a landlocked village so they have no access to water resources other than through trade with a few nearby villages.

History
Black Hollow was founded in 1392 by a small group of people who had left Worrom because they had faced persecution from one of the cults within the city. Fearing for their lives, they fled and discovered the White Flower Glades, along with the Giant Earthworms which bear Necrotic Insomnia and have since lived normally. The village over time has grown to number nearly 900 inhabitants, and it has become an extremely close knitted community. Outsiders are not trusted, and there is always the air of being watched and plotted against within the village.
Architecture
The village is created from hardwood, with some of the older buildings being made mostly from stone. This includes the mill and the blacksmith's workshop, both of which are made entirely out of solid stone, hewn from a quarry nearby.
Geography
Black Hollow is located near the White Flower Glades, situated between the forest and a small range of mountains, making it mostly inaccessible unless you know the paths through the mountains. These are never revealed to outsiders for the town has little need for adventurers, though sometimes the odd adventurer manages to find their way through.
