GEOGRAPHY
West of Barkstone and including the area around Pebblebrook, the land is very hilly and heavily forested. Pebblebrook lies in a valley, and has an extensive stone quarry. Barkstone itself is more or less the edge of the wilderness.
Elmwood and Whitepine are located on flatter land; there is a stream that flows between them, with a well-maintained footbridge built of Pebblebrook stone that crosses it; this stream goes underground south of Whitepine and is fed by the underground stream in Shaleburrow - and the cavern it traverses is wide and high enough to be navigated; it is possible to (relatively secretly) use a boat to travel all the way to the coast. The land south of these towns rises to a rocky ridge; Thistledown is near the top of that ridge. Lockhaven and Ivydale are lower in elevation, as is Shaleburrow.
Dawnrock is a very small settlement, probably not much bigger than Calogero.
