The Village of the Black Tarn begins to take shape on the table. Let me take you on a short walk through this young and upstriving settlement.
The palisades that will protect the village from the darker denizens of the Mirkwood are still in the process of being erected. They may be low, but they are thick and sturdy.
The typical houses are called Halls, as they house a whole family plus their livestock. Most have a roof made of reeds, but some are covered with straw.
The carved beams are typical for buildings in the north, providing a stable support for the roof.
The Great Hall is the heart of the village, the place where folk gathers to decide on important matters - or to feast.
The watchtower can withstand the onslaught of even a troll, with a fundament of stone and a roof made from hard wooden tiles.
In times of war, the village elects a war-leader. Being a veteran of many battles, Viglaf fills this role perfectly.
And then, there are allies - Radagast, the wizard may call upon the help from the Great Eagles of the Misty Mountains in times of dire need.
