Hill Town
This is a small community of about forty hill giants based in the northeastern foothills of the Thesk Mountains. They live here with an assortment of dire wolves, ogres, and orcs, an unstable arrangement that frequently devolves into brawls over who is in charge of the place.
These creatures do some hunting and gathering, but their favorite means of feeding themselves is raiding the Golden Way. They’re careful not to take advantage of travelers on this road too often, though, as they’ve been punished by the Shadowmasters of Telflamm before for such indiscretions. These days, the marauders more commonly harass people on the path from Phent to Nethentir. The giants never raid a caravan escorted by a Red Wizard or one bearing the mark of the Shadowmasters. They are prepared to deal with just so much trouble.
