Silver Moon Village began as an inn and steading located just north of Kassau along the banks of the Thassa , growing
steadily to the point where the inn is now the focal point of the small village , consisting of
several public buildings, garden areas and private cottages, surrounded by an Inner Wall and an Outer Wall.
Entrance to the Village if made by a roadway passes through two gates in
the two walls. These gates are normally kept closed. Between the Outer and Inner Walls lie
the sa-tarna fields as well as grazing areas for bosk and verr. A stream flows from the
outside, under the Outer Wall and across the grazing area, under the Inner Wall and
eventually emptying into the Thassa. The road continues across the land, and passes through
the second gate in the Inner Wall which surrounds the proper
proper.
The roadway ends in a large area for the parking of wagons and carts. A path leads
off from the north side of the Wagon Area and branches left and right. If you take the
branch to the left you will come to a series of five buildings, a Wash Shed, a Dye Shed, a Wool Shed where spinning and weaving also takes place, the Wood Shop, and the Forge and Tack Shed. Across the stream can be seen the grain stores. The path ends just beyond the Forge and Tack Shed. If,
instead, you take the branch to the right, you will come to a group of buildings which serve
as a Smoke Shed (for smoking fish), a Sail Shed, the Ship Yard and a large Storage Shed.
The path turns north again and comes to a crossroads of a fashion.
In the northwest corner of the crossroads is a freshwater spring. At the crossroads, the
path to the east leads to the docks and the serpent ship, The Tempest. The path continuing to
the north takes you to the vulo pen, the ice shed, and a small storage shed. The path to
the west will bring you to the Main Hall ,the Inn itself and the
sparring pit across from the Inn's doorway. To the west side of the Inn you may see the
Animal shed and the pens for bosk and verr. Continuing on the path to the west will bring
you to the private cottages with another spring and an outdoor spar/dance pit. A path loops around the cottages. The path continues to the west, ending at the Bath House
