Nettle. The richly fertile valley between the green hills in this area makes Nettle the foremost vegetable and grain basket of Daggerdale. The small Nettle Creek flows down from Upper Nettle through Nettle, driving the recently rebuilt grain mill there - the biggest in all Daggerdale - which also is joined by a newly rebuilt brewery that produces Nettle Beer, already a secret tip among beer drinkers in Shadowdale, Mistledale and Tilverton. Jhael Silvermane of the Old Skull in Shadowdale is considering closing her own small house brewery and serving Nettle Beer instead. There are about 30 farms in Nettle, along with a large shrine to Chauntea. The small inn (6 beds) is a house operation of the Nettle brewery.

 

Map of Nettle

1 - Mill pond.

2 - Manfreds Smithy: Manfred Ronning (hm) runs the village blacksmith shop.

3 - Nettle Mill: A halfelven miller named Darius Redleaf runs the mill, which mills various flours and presses vegetable oil.

4 - The Silver Nettle: The newly rebuilt inn and brewery is run by a human female named Rassa. The inn is small, with only six beds at 7 silver falcons a night. Rassa serves local produce, beef from Upper Nettle at prices ranging from 5 to 8 silver falcons. She brews her own Nettle Beer, which sells at 3 copper thumbs per quart/liter tankard.

5 - Windmill: An experiment built by the Brightblade dwarves of Anathar's Dell. Although the water in Nettle Creek is relatively clean, mineral deposits between the village and Anathar's Dell upstream give it an off-taste. A steady wind of 10-20 mph (16-32 kmph) usually blow through the valley from the East toward the mountains. The Brightblade Dwarves built the windmill to pump drinking water for the village.

6 - Grain storage and Temple to Chauntea.
