SORROWFIELD

As the name implies, this northern town is a place of sorrow. Many years ago Sorrowfield suffered a great loss. It was a time of war, and the people of this town were defeated by a surprise attack from the North Sea. The attackers were not of any land, but simple-minded raiders, their only intent to loot, rape, and kill. They murdered every young man and took with them every young woman --lovely or not. Sorrowfield mourns this loss every once a year, and respect is religiously given to the youth that had been lost that day. Sorrowfield is now surrounded by a very tall stone wall, the only way in being one large gate that drops over the mote that now surrounds the town. The citizens are very suspicious of outsiders, and on many occasions visitors are not allowed entrance.
