Ravenvale The Cataclysm & The War of the Lance The current year for our homebrewed Dragonlance campaign is set during 381AC. Inspired By Trampas Whiteman

Slightly south of the town of Tantallon, nestled quietly in the arms of a calm and peaceful vale lies the settlement of Ravenvale. The settlement is populated "mostly" by human farmers and laborers who toil the earth and live out a quiet peaceful existence, free of the turmoil in the more populated regions of Ansalon. Ravenvale is located in a beautiful region and is one of the most peaceful, beautiful locals in Abansinia.

It maintains a standing population of approximately 120 citizens year round. The population does not fluctuate from season to season, the warmer months might increase to a population of around 130-140 due to kinfolk visiting and such.

The settlement sees a small amount of traffic from travelers "who usually stop at the Ravenvale Inn "the only inn within the settlement" but shortly after are moving on", and is used more as a crossroads between Tantallon and the other larger towns than anything else.

Ravenvale hasn't grown much since the War of the Lance, thirty years later, it looks almost the same as it did during the war. It is a community where everyone knows one another and everyone is friends or family. A small river flows softly past the settlement to the east. Krynn has many beautiful locations and the settlement of Ravenvale is most definitely one of them. The Eastwall Mountains cradle this settlement in its arms on all sides along with several waterfalls. Low hanging clouds gives this region a cozy feel. This is truly a remarkable sight. Several waterfalls fall from the cliffs surrounding the village, supplying the river with fresh water for the much need fishing that is done in its waters.

The settlement is governed by a man named Tallos Witherspoon "the mayor of Ravenvale". The settlement has no real standing miltia, only a few locals "former adventurers" that casually keep watch over the settlement, and Ravenvale has seen no trouble in a very long time. Their are a few shops and stores located here as well as the Ravenvale Inn "which serves some of the finest food in the region" .

Farming and fishing are the primary source of income for Ravenvale although the location does have a smithy which sometimes trades with outside settlements. Ravenvale also has a small temple devoted to the worship of Mishakal.

At the Midsummer Solstice, Ravenvale holds a festival that runs all week, during which all forms of traditional entertainment are found. People come from all over Abanasinia and sometimes beyond "within traveling distance of course" with the pretext of sampling the good food, buying fancy clothes but above all to participate in the Auction at the close of the festivities. Since the War of the Lance, several upperclass families have moved into Ravenvale and set up shops. This greatly helped the economy of Ravenvale and assisted it in even more people coming to the area to settle.

Like many small settlements across Ansalon, Ravenvale has autonomy in how it governs itself, electing its own officials and imparting its own brand of justice. Only when issues go outside their expertise or infringe upon another jurisdiction are they prone to ask for aid or upscale the matter to outside sources. Ravenvale is a small, tightly packed town with a few important locations.
