Hunter's Down

Named for a long-ago battle in which human hunters died in a last stand atop the hill against a bugbear host, the long, tree-girt hill of Hunter’'s Down is a landmark used by many to navigate the winding forest lanes north of the Glaemril and by Deepingfolk and outlanders alike as a meeting place. This hill has seen many confrontations between elves waiting for other elves and woodcutters waiting for their fellows—, and between members of rival bands of adventurers.

Hunter's’ Down is a tranquil ridge cloaked in soaring shadowtop trees. A deep pool rests midway along it, reputed

by legend to have magical powers. Many folk camp on the hill, especially near the pool, and the eerie beauty of the place has inspired many lovelorn ballads. According to legend, the hill is an ancient elven barrow tomb of the dead from a great battle in the Searing, the first bitter war between rival elven races in the region. The Searing weakened the Fair Folk so much that they could not hurl back the humans who later invaded the Dragon Reach lands.
