Conyberry

""These are simple folk," the drow explained. "Farmers living in the webs of countless superstitions. They would not welcome a dark elf. Let us enter at night.""

- R.A. Salvatore, ''The Halfling's Gem

Conyberry is a small farming village on the eastern edge of the Neverwinter Wood. It's famous for the a magical grove near the village which is home to the elven banshee named Agatha.

History
In 1356 DR, the Companions of the Hall, Drizzt Do'Urden and Wulfgar the barbarian, entered the small community in order to procure Agatha's mask from the Ghost of Neverwinter Wood's lair. After being confronted by the townsfolk, who defended Agatha as their own, the heroes proceeded to take the mask from the banshee's grove without harming her.

Geography
This small village is sheltered within the forest edges and nestled in hills on the edge of the Dessarin. Conyberry consists of a dozen or so houses clustered on the east side of Neverwinter Wood. The adjoining homesteads spread out to the east and south, divided by a small cart track leading to Triboar. Although trolls and brigands lurk in the hills to the south, travelers find it faster to journey through Conyberry, except in winter. The harsh winter, also known in the region as "wolf weather," causes hungry wolves to enter the community and raid food stores.

Trade
Folk in Conyberry cut trees from the wood as needed and hunt on the fringes of the forest, snaring rabbits and growing crops to feed themselves. They also seek trade with any travelers who come through the area. They are very self-sufficient, needing only to purchase linens, finished clothing, dishes, and cooking wares from peddlers. Conyberry is also home for a couple of carpenters, Martin von Mensch the bladesmith, and the Conyberry Hall, where two brewers who ferment disgusting beers.

Defense
For being a community of farmers, Conyberry is well organized for defending itself. The village can muster about 140 fighters, who are very skilled with bows and slings. After dark, the townsfolk keep watch from the rooftops, armed with scythes, swords, and crossbows. An unusual defender of Conyberry is Agatha, who villagers regard affectionately as their guardian and friend.
