Creedson’s Refuge (ridge and lake of Crestwold)
Creedsons Refuge (the area of Creedsons Lake and Creedson’s Ridge) is a territory off the Murchart River of Haridsen Vale in the Barony of Crestwold. It is mostly a muddy lowland as the ground slopes down from the Creedson Ridge that holds back the Murchart River flowing west towards Torrelson’s Ford. At the highest and dry point of the ridge were once several small settlements. Most of the settlements are in ruins. Like many places in Crestwold, the roads and paths are muddy outside of summer. There is very little trade in the winter.
Creedson Refuge Features
Creedson’s Ridge: This is a ridgeline that runs along the length of the Murchart river as it flows west. It mostly keeps the river from spilling into the Navin flood Plain, but heavy rains can cause the river to overflow its banks in the fall and winter.
- Old Loflin Steading (Ruins): This is sometimes used as a camp spot for travelers. There is virtually nothing left of any structure except the stone foundation of the main house, though it has no roof. The Loflin family was an Umbakian family and one of the last fortified holdout of Umbakian power in the area. It was sacked hard, in retribution, when it finally fell.
Navin (Flood) Plain
This is a muddy flood plain with rich soil. There are a few stands of wild orchards and berries here.
Navin Crossing
This is just a shallow and easy fording point on the road for the Carrelish Creek, right before the creek spreads out into the Carrelish Tributary – a reed filled wetlands on the edge of the lake.
Carrelish Creek/Tributary
Reeds and cattails. Fertile fish and bird breeding grounds.
Hayfield Cross
This is a crossroads at the eastern edge of the area with sign markers and a raised and leveled area for a campsite. It is maintained by Hotherwale Village volunteers to facilitate trade and travel. Roads go east, west, and north.
Creedson Lake
This lake is a shallow (no more than 10m deep) that is about 7km wide and 6km across to Haridsens Vale on the southern boundary, which is part of the barony but inhabited mostly by halflings and some half elves. Every year, the halflings roll several barrels of their whiskey into the lake and the locals race to pick them up. There are playful water fights and a bit of a festival in the summer when this happens (as the water is warmest then).
