Noted Locales

Sherwood Forest
A royal forest in Nottinghamshire spanning about 100,000 acres. Secretly home to Our Covenant.

Nottingham
Built around Nottingham castle. Originally a wooden motte-and-bailey built in 1068, it was replaced during Henry II's reign into the imposing and strongly defensible structure it is today. Its strategically important location near the crossing of the river Trent and closeness to several royal forests made it noteworthy and led to its reputation as a place of leisure of nobles and royalty alike.

The settlement itself continues to grow though it has suffered tragedies in the past, including a great fire which destroyed much of the city in 1153. The main bridge across the river is the Heth Beth Bridge which was rebuilt in stone in 1156.

St. Peter's Church was one of the buildings destroyed in the great fire but reconstruction began in 1180 and is expected to be complete by 1220.

Lenton
A village approximately a days march from Nottingham. Home a sizable jail used by the Sheriff of Nottingham. In 1190 there was a noted jailbreak.

Lidby
A small but prosperous village with a converted mott and bailey castle which serves as the estate for the current forester-in-fee of the southwestern region of Sherwood and his personal retinue.

Hockendale
A village of little to no note. The position of lord of the village is vacant as of 1190.

Ernehale
Famed for its bee hives, honey and thus its production of high quality bees wax and honey mead.
