Shrek's place of work where there's always a glass of milk waiting for Lucya. It isn't the biggest tavern in the biggest circle, but it has some lodging options and receives lumber from Lucya's family on a regular enough basis.
A sketchy little swamp town near the edge of the Flooded Lands with little to its name but the local tavern and some magic somethings that aren't really powerful enough to warrant much scrutiny. Lucya left for here after swearing her vow to find Brynn and met Jagal, who somewhat inadvertantly roped her into helping find the "lost" scrying guide.
Eleri and Tanvir have had somewhat of a rivalry in their information guarding, with each of them having a different specialty. Tanvir plays dirty and Eleri has had about darn well enough. The book Eleri guards secretly holds the key to something called the Forge of Fates, a strange place that shifts in location and purportedly can only be found by the worthy. They were already well aware of this, but they're not about to tell Tanvir about it.
