farming center in the Rostland Plains
Score 292
10/20/25The town was founded by the halfling Dharva Scatterheart, a rogue who saw herself as the queen of the Rostland Plains.The region of grassy plains and rolling hills to the east of the Sellen and south of the Gronzi Forest are the heart of Old Rostland, dotted with farming towns and villages with a mixture of Issian and Astorian heritage and manners, but with more of an emphasis on the Rostlandic descendants of the original Astorian colonists. Although close to the capital of New Stetven, the Rostland Plains harbor some simmering dissent against the crown, the man who presently wears it, and the very idea of Brevoy as a unified nation. She passed away without achieving such fame, but her town prospered and grew.
The trade caravans that pass through Greenest bring gold to the town's merchants and craftsfolk, and Governer Nighthill runs the town at the behest of the inhabitants.
The main town consists of about 90 structures, including a Keep, several manor houses, a temple, inns and taverns, as well as many shops, businesses, and stables. At market times, the main square and the greens surrounding Keep Hill are filled with stalls and vendors hawking their wares. outlying farms, orchards, and small sheep and cattle ranches comprise the rest of the town. A long, slow-moving stream, Rocky Creek, winds its way along the southern edge of Greenest, the shallow waters flowing westward. It is too narrow, winding, and shallow for water travel.
The population of Greenest is predominantly human (82%), with a significant amount of halfling families and clans (8%), and a good amount of dwarves (5%), and a smattering of elves and half-elves (2% each), with the remaining races making up the rest (1%). Dragonborn are rare, though sometimes seen as guards on passing caravans. Tieflings are uncommon, but often travel up from the southern lands, passing through town; they are viewed with quiet suspicion and care is always taken when doing business with them. Gnomes are perhaps the least seen, though one gnome family operates The Rusty Breastplate tavern.
Even though Greenest claims 500 or more citizens as residents of the town proper, that total encompasses the farms and other homes that lie outside the town boundaries within an hour's walk (approx. 3 miles).
The 200+ citizens outside of the town proper reside mostly on the farms and steadings situated in the numerous small valleys comprising the Greenfields; most are within seven (7) miles of the town's walls. Mills, tanneries, stables, carters, wainwrights, coopers, brewers, and other industries vital to supporting a trade town can be found outside the town, but the most prominent are found within the town proper.
