Ravenvale The Cataclysm & The War of the Lance The current year for our Dragonlance campaign is set during 351 AC "After Cataclysm". Inspired By Trampas Whiteman

Slightly south of the town of Tantallon, nestled quietly in the arms of a calm and peaceful vale lies the settlement of Ravenvale. The settlement is populated "mostly" by human farmers and laborers who toil the earth and live out a quiet peaceful existence, free of the turmoil in the more populated regions of Ansalon.

The settlement sees a bit of traffic from travelers "who usually stop at the Ravenvale Inn but shortly after are moving on", and is used more as a crossroads between Tantallon and the other larger towns than anything else.

Ravenvale grew considerably after the War of the Lance from a small village to a mid sized settlement. It is a community where everyone knows one another and everyone is friends. A small river flows softly past the settlement to the east. Krynn has many beautiful locations and the settlement of Ravenvale is one of them with it's well built homes with a heavy nature aspect "trees and shrubbary growing throughout the settlement" gives it a peaceful look and feel. The Eastwall Mountains cradle this village in its arms on all sides with several waterfalls. Low hanging clouds gives this region a cozy feel. This is truly a remarkable sight. Several waterfalls fall from the cliffs surrounding the village, supplying the river with fresh water for the much need fishing that is done in its waters.

The settlement is governed by a man named Tallos Witherspoon "the mayor of Ravenvale". The village has a small standing miltia, with a few towns guard that maintains security inside the settlement, and Ravenvale has seen no trouble in a very long time. The settlement has a local watch, made up of members of the Ravenvale itself which makes this job all the more serious since these people are literally protecting the homes and families they personally have. They are led by The Master of Arms. Their are a few shops and stores located here as well as the Ravenvale Inn "which serves some of the finest food in Abanasinia" .

Farming and fishing are the primary source of income for Ravenvale although the location does have a smithy, blacksmith and woodworking shop which sometimes trades with outside settlements. Ravenvale also has a small temple devoted to the worship of Mishakal.

At the Midsummer Solstice, Ravenvale holds a festival that runs all week, during which all forms of traditional entertainment are found. People come from all over Abanasinia and sometimes beyond "within traveling distance of course" with the pretext of sampling the good food, buying fancy clothes but above all to participate in the Auction at the close of the festivities. After the War of the Lance, several upperclass families have moved into Ravenvale and set up shops. This greatly helped the economy of Ravenvale and assisted it in even more people coming to the area to settle.

Like many small settlements across Ansalon, Ravenvale has autonomy in how it governs itself, electing its own officials and imparting its own brand of justice. Only when issues go outside their expertise or infringe upon another jurisdiction are they prone to ask for aid or upscale the matter to outside sources. Ravenvale is a small, tightly packed town with a few important locations.
