Farnham Castle (M-20): Uther Pendragon built an
old-style castle here to protect Logres against Suth Saexe.
By Phase 3, a great shell keep enclosed the motte.
Nearby is a deep cave, home of a creature known as
Mother Ludlum. If a person goes to the cave at midnight
and pleads, “Good Mother Ludlum, lend me (an object)
and I will return it within two days,” the article will
appear in front of the cave at daybreak. The cave is so
deep that geese entering it at Farnham appear featherless
two weeks later at Astolat (q.v.).
Ruler: Castellan
Vassal of: Bishop of Camelot

Forest Perdue (5. Andredesweald, M. Weald): This
forest has been haunted as long as man has known, and
is home to dragons, fell creatures, and the spirits of men
who have lost their way. It is home to bandits and
rogues, and hides many mysteries in its depths. The only
roads through the forest are heavily overgrown Roman
roads. Somewhere in its fastness lie the Fountain of the
Virgin and the Vale Sans Retour, the “Valley of No
Return”. (Ambient 5-7d20, Summon 3d20)
Fountain of the Virgin: Located somewhere in the
Forest Perdue is a spring which weakens any knight who
drinks from it who is not a virgin. These knights become
so weak that they are unable to leave the glade of the
fountain, and must be helped out or die. (Ambient
5d20, Curse 3d20)
Frensham (M-20): The church here cheated the lending
faeries of the Devil’s Jumps (q.v.). The church still
has a golden cauldron it borrowed, but never returned.

stead was the center of the Godelmingas theod before

and churches at Astolat.
Godshill (M-21): The fine church on this hill was
intended for the valley below, but every morning the
previous day’s work was found demolished and its
materials moved to the crest of this hill. As at Alfriston,
the builders eventually gave in and built the church in its
current spot. (Ambient 4d20, Divine Miracle 2d20)
Goodwood (M-20): A treasure - Aaron’s golden calf

palisade and a great mead-hall. After Badon. Arthur

much of Arthur’s reign, being raided several times by the
French.
Ruler: Admiral Theoderic
Vassal of: King Arthur Pendragon
