Village Backdrop: Bleakflat (Patreon)

Once again, Jeff Gomez has created a "lovely" village for your campaign. Last year, I challenged Jeff to write a nice village for a change. You know the kind of place--a village not awash with drugs, necrotic energies or even worse! He came up with Bleakflat. While I'm not sure I'd want to holiday there, I do think it will be an excellent addition to your campaign. In any event, it's virtually guaranteed that a visit to Bleakflat will provoke some inter-party roleplaying. 

I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you enjoy inflicting it on your PCs!

Village Backdrop: Bleakflat

A  GM’s Resource by Jeff Gomez

Lost to the north of nowhere, far beyond the reach of trade routes and prying eyes, a rocky bluff rises from barren soil. Here, deep amidst the frozen tundra, a ruined castle has been refitted into a tiny village. Ten hovels, whose rural architecture suggests structures five centuries old, surround a refurbished tower, and in this tower lives the mayor of Bleakflat. Wise and capable, he tends to his villagers as a shepherd to his sheep.

The very presence of such a remote village is enough to arouse suspicion. There are no ore mines here, no nearby dungeons, no ley lines or trade routes. The people seem simple enough, but they are somehow able to fend off the wolf packs roaming the land, and are unperturbed by the massive bats which attack the rare unannounced visitor. How? The people of Bleakflat are under the protection of a vampire, the mayor of the village and the only citizen with rosy cheeks and warm smile. The villagers trade their blood for his protection and care, and in turn he tends his flock well.
