 =====Havenspass=====
-**DM'S NOTE**: As this game enters a second phase of adventure, perhaps briefly, or perhaps for quite awhile in the Havenspass region, Havenspass becomes sort of a sandbox for adventure temporarily as the details fill in.
+Havenspass is a small city built in a mountain pass. [[Goliath|Goliath Tribes]] first settled here & are still the most dominate race, with a mix of Storm, Cloud, Fire & Hill Giant ancestry.[[Elf|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.
-====Population====
+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.

-====Backstory====
-//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.

   * 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|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.

    * [[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.
