Barkwhisper

A poor frontier town in the region of Shulafal, Barkwhisper has been left to fend for itself and the surrounding region is preyed on by the threats of the south with little mind given by the northern lords.

Legend of the Whispering Trees
Legend has it that the town of of Barkwhisper was so named that when it was built around trees that would whisper truths. When the Lord of Barkwhisper was responsible for a murder, it was the trees that tried to tell of his misdeeds, and so in retaliation he had all the trees cut down bar one that now remains in the town square.

If it is believed, and the story is told by the infirm old man who frequents the tree every day, that if one is to pour water into the large hole in the middle of the tree, then you will be given a blessing from the tree. It was at that tree that Sir Charming Charming displayed a miracle after receiving his blessing he placed his hands upon the old man who was able to cast away his walking stick and soon spread the word. In truth it was Charming's halfling squire, Sedril, that perform a minor prestidigitation spell to make Charming's hand glow, and Charming's own forceful personality convinced the man he could walk.
