Slaughterford has a foul reputation. Water spirits drowned a company of marauding orcs at the ford a century ago. Since then, lights of unwholesome hue, indescribable noises and other odd doings around the anniversary of the orcs’ destruction have driven timid or superstitious travellers to seek safer, less haunted routes. Rumours also suggest that the bulk of Slaughterford’s populace is in league with bandit gangs lurking in the southern woods, which gives prudent travellers another good reason to avoid this place.
