Mossrock

Mossrock is a small hamlet in Barland, near the border with Korevna on the road to Akdur. Its most famous for being involved in the disappearance of Charles Wilem.

History
Mossrock was founded sometime in late 200 A.E. by settlers from the nearby town of Kordur. It was originally founded by three families, for a total of twenty-two individuals. By 150 A.E. it had grown to eight families. Steady growth occurred in the hamlet for the next near two hundred years. On the 16th of Nordren 99 C.E. the son of Lord Cyprus Wilem of Oligarden, Charles Wilem went missing at Veldrkot Canyon. A passerby claimed to have seen a man carrying a boy of similar age towards Mossrock, where the search parties moved to.

The keeper of the local tavern at the time claimed to have seen the man and the young boy asking around for a horse to buy. A local farmer sold him the horse for twenty silver lilies, far more than it was worth. During the ensuing search, Mossrock was inundated by strangers looking for the lost lordling. In the ensuing years, more than seventy people would move to the town and pilgrims occasionally visit to see the shrine to Charles in the local chapel.
