Hedgeborn

The only people who care about Hedgeborn are those that live there. Hedgeborn is the most important unimportant hamlet of Awbor. It was the home of the Hedgeborn Commoners, a band of idiots united in their peasantry and desire to survive the dangers of Awbor.
The hamlet is off the beaten track, hidden in the empty wilderness of central Awbor. It produces so little that the local lord can't even be bothered to tax the place. This tiny community, chiefly composed of humans and halflings, is happily concerned with farming local produce such as onions and potatoes.
== History ==
The hamlet has existed in some form since the 6th century AP. A group of human settlers allied themselves with a local halfling community, eager to forge a new life in the heart of the Awborian wilderness. The fruit of this alliance was an oasis of tranquillity. The hamlet soon became a small collection of houses and barns, surrounded by fields and hedgerows.
The only event that could possibly distract the villagers from their concerns were the many monsters and bandits that always seem to be passing by. Despite their isolation, the villagers have managed to survive numerous encounters that would have destroyed similar communities.
Probably the most famous inhabitants of this incredibly unimportant place were Pickle Strongheart, Dave Peabody, Stormageddon and Grunk. This quartet of cretins were the main defenders of the village in the early 8th century AP. In the short period between 710 and 714 AP, these commoners were able to defend Hedgeborn from multiple bandit and orc raids, hauntings, spellcasters and even several dragons.
In 714 AP, the group met the Hindenburg Ground Crew, who were busy rallying the kingdom to defend against Kyuss' inevitable attack. After being invited to Hindenburg to help, the commoners bid farewell to the village and left to defend their home from an Elder Evil. After the war, some of the commoners chose to settle in Hindenburg, while others returned to Hedgeborn.
Hedgeborn was unaffected from the Kyuss War. Since then, the village is not as isolated as it once was, with people traveling to and fro between Hindenburg and Hedgeborn to visit friends and family.
The village continues to live peacefully in the Awbor wilderness. It still gets occasionally attacked by monsters and other mean things, but its inhabitants still rise to meet them every single time.
