Key to the Map of Yewwood

  1. Hrækur's Smithy.

  2. Andsmyrna Detachment. The detachment chief is the female warrior Kirsten.

  3. Wayhouse.

  4. Wayhouse Horse Stable.

  5. Wayhouse Brewhouse and Distillery.

  6. Semaphore. This complex consists of two towers. To the south is a stone tower 70 feet/21 meters high and 20 feet/6 meters in diameter, connected to the stone tower by a wooden bridge. Other than lad-ders, its only contents are sealed pails containing variously colored powder. A bridge extends to the north tower. It is made of wood but also stands 70 feet/21 meters high and is 25 feet/7,5 meters wide on each side. Atop the tower is a stack of kindling wood and upon it a large stack of young tree trunks, each about 20 feet/6 meters long. This is part of a network semaphores. In times of trouble or need, one can ignite the kindling and throw a pale of one of the colored powders into the flames, which make them turn the color. The color defines the nature of the danger or the warning. Guards on other semaphores can see the flames and pass on whatever news that they convey. The guard members who maintain the tower watch live in the houses below (No. 8).

  7. Village Green.

  8. Houses of Trappers, Hunters and Woodsmen.
