Schafguchel

A small village where Apis and Lokara grew up, consisting mainly of Hill Dwarves. The name translates from dwarven to sheep hill, and is located on a hill, a mile or so north of Gyftigald Forest. The nearby area is mostly sheep farms, and the main income and exports are sheep and sheep related products. The houses are mostly built with stone load bearing walls and lintels, but consist mainly of sod walls and thatched roofs. An excess of stone being harder to come by in the area. The town center has a well.

History
The village was largely destroyed in the attack by the ancient green dragon Unguheff, three years before Episode 1 starts. The Townhall was destroyed as though a massive boulder had rested on it then been removed during the attack.

At the start of S1E1, Apis is having a nightmare and is reliving what happened

"The smell was the first sign that something was wrong. Apis was returning from the Gyftigald Forest and noticed the toxic waft in the air. There was a faint emerald haze over the town and no noises or signs of life. Starting to panic, they pick up their speed and sprint towards the town. Once there, they see a body lying in the street, with blood shot eyes, swollen veins and blood dripping from their nose and mouth. Starting to search for their family and friends, they discover body after body. The town hall was destroyed. The worse moment was finding their sister Sada's body. Holding her, Apis vowed revenge on Unguheff.."

Apis never found the body of Eldeth or Yangrit. Lurtrum, Gilras and Sada all lie in the cemetery with many of Apis’ extended family and friends. Apis has not been back since.
