## Surrounding Area

### Manchet Plateau

The Plateau at the base of the Giant‘s Tears Mountain Range stretches east for several miles. It’s a lush savanna, home to many wild animals and more than a few nomadic tribes of humans, orcs, and bugbears. The Solvi River flows across the plains, with many tributaries feeding it from mountain streams.

The mountain pass road passes through the plateau towards Glanoor and on to Glanndrin.

### Solvi Falls, Lake, and Wood

The Solvi river leaves the Manchet Plateau and plunges down in to the valley in a spectacular waterfall, filling Solvi Lake. Across the lake is a forest, which includes a recently burned out tower. The forest is also home to a goblin tribe, currently run by the troll Truzax Nurlam the Onecrook.

### Freetowns

Rosehall to the north west and Hehnog to the north are the largest of the freetowns neighbouring Fallkirk. To the east is Ravensbruck, a hamlet farming town.

### The Palgrave Road

The Palgrave Road extents west from Fallkirk toward Valance, passing Rosehall before entering the Palgrave Wood.

### The Solvi Road and Bridge

The road runs east from Fallkirk along the lake and out to the ocean where it joins the Shore Road at the Solvi Bridge. The Bridge is quite large, allowing ships to pass under it, and extremely old, its original purpose is now lost, as there isn’t another major city south east of it, only a variety of smaller towns, and the next river now only has ruins of a bridge.

### Solvi Forest

The Forest south east of the Solvi river is home to goblins, gnomes, and most likely some fey creatures. The civilized people of Fallkirk consider it untameable. Rumour has it a wizard's tower now lays recently ruined somewhere in this pinewood.
