Veidreborg

Veidreborg is a small woodlands settlement in northwest area of the woodland realms that is Mirkwood. While the population of the settlement changes frequently, rarely are more there more than a dozen Beorning folk families here at even given time; men, women and children. Because Mirkwood is dangerous, this is one of the very few places that the uncommon Beorning Warden would be noticed. Veidreborg's survival, despite its proximity to orc territory, is due to its purpose.

The general story goes that Veidreborg was founded by Beorning folk several decades ago for the precise purpose of watching and guarding against the spread of Orcs towards the northern forest were its whispered more of their forest dwellings may lie. Beorn, the legendary "Great Chieftain" of his followers is rumored to visit the place from time to time from his rumoured Carrock in western Mirkwood to commune with Ragnar, the Beorning "lesser" Chieftain who leads those at Veidreborg. 

A forest village for all intensive purposes, as far as the Beorning go, Veidreborg is little more than a few longhouses and tree-built dwellings. Outsiders who pass through Veidreborg on their way elsewhere are not exactly greeted with open arms, but are given safe passage and are generally well fed for their journey but are not permitted to tarry long.

Veidreborg ramshackle as it might be, serves as the trading center for the Beorning folk and sells honey and heather as it's main exports, buying metal tools and weapons from outsiders. 

Veidreborg has a single un-named tavern in a longhouse that is open to visitors. Veidreborg, being a Beorning settlement, does not welcome or permit outsiders to stay long.
