Westbridge - a farming village situated along the Long Road in the Savage Frontier.
It earned its
name, fittingly enough, for its location on the west side of Stone Bridge. Westbridge comprised a
market, stockyard and several warehouses. As of the mid—14 th century DR, they were all
owned by the halfling businessman Ghaliver Longstocking.

Harvest Inn: This establishment was run by the likable art dealer Herivin Dardragon. Contained
comfortable beds at reasonable prices and it included Derry's Tavern and Eatery, a famous bar
wherein travelers exchanged tales every night. Herivin was a collector and purveyor of unusual
and sometimes distasteful works of art with questionable artistic value.
He is renowned on the Sword Coast for his curly black hair and his love of collecting,
and reselling, questionable paintings and statuettes.
Combined with Derry’s Tavern and Eatery, run by Herivin’s wife, the inn provides all the
needs for a weary traveler.
There are a total of thirteen beds for rent at the inn
two single rooms and three shared rooms. The single rooms are 5gp per night and a bed
in a shared room is 1gp per night.
A meal at the Eatery ranges in price from 5sp to 20gp, and drinks range in price from
5cp to 50gp for the most expensive wine available.
The remaining double room on the first floor is for Herivin and his wife.
Longstocking Yard: Longstocking Yard contains Westbridge's town hall, as well as the village's
largest grain warehouse. The yard is protected by a stout wooded palisade that is 15 feet high
and twenty halfling archers, who have been trained to fire from the roofs of the hall and
warehouse. The Baron of Westbridge is a charming halfling who owns half the town named
Ghaliver Longstocking (CN male lightfoot halfling bandit captain). Ghaliver dreams of
becoming a real power in the Sword Coast, but he knows that he's becoming watched by
the Zhentarim and other groups who wish him ill.
In recent months, there have been disappearances of locals to the region, and Ghaliver is
looking for adventurers who would be willing to talk with Fredu, whose story about finding an evil
temple might but be connected to the disappearances. (Lost Temple of Asmodeus - party lvl 6)
