This section of West Highland is far more rural than the main portion of West Highland along Fawn River. It’s even more rural than along the Leather Road. Farmers live in the shadow of the mountains. There are very small villages along the old roads. And that’s it. Hightown is south on the Leather Road and Black Stag is east across several hundred miles of forest. The assumption throughout is that this is happening in the spring, perhaps April, when winter is ending. Another great time for the adventure is late October, timing to end up in the castle on Hallowe’en, when Tragos d’Illus will haunt the castle.
