Cold Harbour (N-20): Maggs Well, located in the forest
near Cold Harbour, is a healing well. One must
throw its waters a coin, else they have adverse properties.
(Ambient 2d20, Healing 4d20)
Cooling Castle (0-19): An early Fourth-phase ordinary
castle, built to protect the approaches to the Thames.
Ruler: Sir Rufus
Vassal of: Earl Kynniarc
Coombe Hill (0-20): An ancient hillfort. Some of the
residents of Pevensey (q.v.) garrisoned the hill until it
was captured by Aelle. The Saxons had no use for it, and
it fell into disrepair.
Danebury (DO): An ancient hillfort briefly held by
Garmund, a Danish warrior who joined the cyningdom
of West Saexe as an ealdorman. Abandoned after
Badon.
Dartford (5. Tarenteford) (0-19): A fortified village,
seat of the Wilmingas theod and the base for their fleet.
Now part of Arthur’s desmene, Dartford is home to three
small warships, manned mainly by Wilmingas sailors to
patrol the Thames.
Ruler: Sir Coelric
Vassal of: King Arthur Pendragon
Derringstone Down (P-20): A Saxon burial ground
known for its barrows.
Devil’s Dike (N-20): The devil dug a mighty ditch in
the hillside, planning on drowning the village below for
their religious fervor. However, a cock crowed and an
old woman lit a candle, making the Devil think that
morning had arrived and forcing him to flee. Two
mounds at the top of the hill may house the Devil and
his wife. (Ambient 4d20, Divine Miracle 2d20, Protect
3d20)
Devil’s Jumps (M-20): Five barrows lie in a line on
Treyford Hill. The Saxons tell how Thunor was resting
on the hill one day when the Christian Devil came along
making a great racket. Thunor awoke in anger, and
when the Devil taunted him, the storm god threw his
hammer at the unclean one and banished him from the
spot. Until 523, you could borrow items from the
faeries here, as long as you returned them within three
days. The church at Frensham (q.v.) broke the tradition,
and the faeries no longer trade with mortals. (Ambient
4d20, Divine Miracle 2d20, Summon Faerie Creature
4d20 until 523)
Ditchling Beacon (N-20): Witch (or Wish) hounds
haunt the downs here, chasing the souls of the damned:
another location of the Wild Hunt (or the ride of the
Waelcyrige). The road over Black Dog Hill is haunted by
a headless Black Dog. (Ambient 4d20, Summon Faerie
Creature [Black Dog] 3d20)
Dover (R. Dubris) (P-20): A Saxon Shore fort, and the
former base of the Roman navy in Britain. Its huge
pharos (Roman lighthouse) guided boats across the
Channel with fire by night and a tower of smoke by day:
the ghost of a Roman soldier still patrols this ruined
tower. After Badon, Arthur’s knights capture it, erecting
a motte in just eight days. Stronger fortifications and a
castle eventually surround the old pharos. By Phase 4,
the outer wall has over twenty towers, and the keep is a
100’ cube, with walls 17’ to 21’ thick.
Ruler: King Arthur Pendragon
Vassal of: No-one
Down’s Way: An ancient trade route from Venta
Belgarum (Camelot) to Canterbury. The road is haunted
by several ghosts, including a rider with a broadbrimmed
hat and silver spurs who appears near
Bearstead (the Saxons claim it is Wotan, and that he may
be contacted here). A ghostly rider plunges into the lake
near Ashford every Midsummer’s Eve, and a ghostly dog
haunts the track near Trottiswell. (Ambient 1-3d20,
Summon Faerie Creature [as noted above] 2d20)
Dry Hill Camp (0-20): A hillfort that resisted the
Saxons for many years because of its location inside the
Andredesweald. After its capture, it was abandoned.
Dunsfold (N-20): The holy well here cures eye troubles.
After the Battle of Badon, the Virgin Mary appeared here
to pilgrims seeking the well. (Ambient 3d20, Divine Miracle
[Christian, Pagan] 3d20, Healing 3d20)
Eastry (5. Eastrgena) (P-19): The Royal town of Kent,
and Hengist’s “home” when he was not otherwise
engaged. There are saltworks in the town, which go to
the purse of the Bishop of London. The town still has a
large Saxon population.
Ermine Street (0-19 to M-13): The Roman road from
London to Eburacum.
Eynesford Castle (0-19): Sir Jaufre de Malestroit built an
old-style castle on this bend of the river Darent, but soon
replaced the wooden palisade with a stone wall. After
