Havenspass is a small city built in a mountain pass. Goliath Tribes first settled here & are still the most dominate race, with a mix of Storm, Cloud, Fire & Hill Giant ancestry.Wood Elves are the second most populace. This city is noteworthy in this campaign because it is where Eyrun & Jules grew up before starting their adventuring careers. Trolls & Ogres, and other forms of of Giant-Kin, have been accepted here historically due to the Goliath roots that Havenspass was built on. Provided they behave. Many can be found located if not in, then near the city. Being surrounded by The Mistwood means there are also lots of very impressive monsters in the nearby area. Basically things hit harder in Havenspass, literally.

Havenspass consists of three segmented social structures. The Historic Goliath District where Goliaths having settled first own a majority of homes in the central part of town. The Havenspass Commune where the majority of Wood Elves, being a large presence here, live & work in a commune environment that is gated. Other races, outsiders and late comers to the area find themselves living in outskirt parts of the city. There are always exceptions to the rule of course based on circumstance.

1. Havenspass features one main road called the “H.T.” running North/South that all trade must pass through if it involves carts or any sort of volume. This road goes directly through the city. Without it there would be isolation.
2. Havenspass has the best trails leading up into the mountains to the East/West in the region.

• A.L.I.Z.A. - An Oracle not far from Havenspass.
• Cloudfire Mountains (East Mountains)
• Fuggut's Cave - A troll cave close to the city.
• Havenspass Farmlands - The farms and land between Havenspass & Mythburg.
• Mythburg - Port City to the North.
• Oakenshire - Smaller town to the South.
• Stormhill Mountains (West Mountains)
• Tartarusium Ravine
• The Mistwood

• Mistwood Hardwood Timber – Premium logs and beams harvested from the southern Mistwood area closer to Oakenshire. Exceptionally durable and slightly iridescent; used for ship masts, fortress gates, special projects or even magical staves over in Mythburg. A lot of locals are employed harvesting it.
• Seasoned Mistwood Planks – Planed lumber ready for export. Carpenters and shipwrights in Mythburg pay top coin for it.
• Wild Mistberry Preserves – Jars of tart-sweet jam from berries that only grow under the forest’s perpetual mist. A luxury good for nobles and bakers.
• Mountain Goat Fleece – Coarse, weatherproof wool from hardy goats that graze the high trails. Spun into warm cloaks and blankets.
• Local Iron Ore Ingots – Smelted from small mountain veins worked by Goliath miners. Not the richest ore, but reliable for local blacksmiths and export to bigger forges.
• Goliath Ravine Whetstones – Coarse, durable sharpening stones quarried from the local ravines. Every blacksmith and mercenary caravan wants a few.
• Goliath Stone Totems – Small carved idols or paperweights made from local granite and basalt. Popular souvenirs and minor good-luck charms among travelers.

• Historic Goliath District Trade Goods:
  • Havenspass Ale – Dark, hearty beer brewed in the city’s single tavern/brewery. Economically important since this is the farthest north brewery.
  • Barrel-Aged Ravine Cheese – Sharp, crumbly cheese made from mountain goat milk and aged in Mistwood barrels. A favorite of merchants who travel the pass. The Cheese Warehouse were the aging happens has been a fixture since the founding of the town.

• Havenspass Commune Trade Goods:
  • Mistwood Sap Resin – Sticky, fragrant resin tapped from the forest’s ancient trees. Alchemists use it for adhesives, varnishes, or fog-creating potions.
  • Maple Syrup – The famous sweet export made by the local Wood Elves of the Havenspass Commune from local maple trees.
  • Elven Cordage – Strong, lightweight cordage woven from vines within The Mistwood by Wood Elf craftsfolk. The most prominent business of this sort is run by “The Moms” Kess & Nix.
  • Ravine Clay Earthenware – Sturdy pots, jars, and amphorae fired from clay deposits in the deep ravines.

• A right of passage for young Goliath involves trekking a mountain path to a shrine based on their giant kin lineage dedicated to their ancestors, which is usually a fairly grueling task and subject to monsters and other issues.
• In Havenspass it is generally believed that the forest known as The Mistwood is the real provider of all peoples' needs. It has the resources that have kept this city going since the founding time, and locals are quick to be judgemental toward those who hold any opinion to the contrary.
• Rockmas: At some point in Havenspass history someone had the idea to put clothing on the Havenspass Rock Formation each year on the first day of summer to represent a bigger more productive season than the year before.

• Havenspass is not in its glory days, as the younger port city of Mythburg to the North has far surpassed it in economic value, and now crime is common. There is a struggle to control things like alcohol flowing north, a local struggle between at least two crime bosses each extorting protection monies with different agendas, and a misc vibe of crooked deals and dealings pervading the city.
• Atlas Nephele is a local crime boss running the “Cloud Family”.
• Fishpunch, a troll, is what passes for local law enforcement. Long ago the Goliaths decided that whomever had this role should be impartial but also not a weakling, and it was decided that the roll will always go to a troll. It is an odd roll to find a troll in, but it exists here.
• ZuuNek The Paranoid, a blue beholder eye tyrant runs operations near Oakenshire, which frequently impact Havenspass.
• Mythburg's bad actors also contribute to what goes on in Havenspass. One important factor is that Mythburg has a prohibition on taverns, which makes alcohol running a common criminal activity with lots of supporters.

The following is from the backstory that spawned this place.

It is a small city by the name of Havenspass, an area nestled between steep mountains and deep ravines. First built by a conglomerate of different Goliath tribes, it soon found prosperity in being a solid trade route/lumber supply, and soon through the decades other races passing through would find a home within it's walls. However, as other trade routes emerged through the centuries, such as a massive port in Mythburg to the north, the local economy slowly started to falter, leaving room for a cancerous undergrowth of crime to be allowed to slowly fester as some residents fell to desperation in more trying times.
