WestbridgeWestbridge, a waystop of 450 folk, stands where the Long Road meets Stonetrail. The origin of the village's name is obvious, as it's the western edge of Stonetrail.
Longstocking Yards is east of the Long Road and south of Stonetrail (protected by a stout palisade and 20 hired human archers). To the north rests Ghaliver's Inn. Across the road is a diner. All these locations (except the diner) are owned by Ghaliver Longstocking, an enterprising halfling investor.
Places of Interest
Farrier Services by the Drull: This place is manned by Drulleck, a human
explorer believed to have suffered a bizarre mental illness while exploring
the Nameless Dungeon some years back. He moved to Westbridge and set up shop
to shoe horses and repair saddlebags. The man squints and mumbles in jutting,
short-cut sentences resembling a confusion spell effect. He's known as the worst
shoer in Faerûn.
The Hammer and Nail: This shop, owned by Trystkin of Evermoor, specializes in repairing wagons and wheels, but spends most of his time repairing tornado-blasted barns and grain silos within three-days travel of his shop. When in town, he devises pranks to play on Drulleck, whom Trystkin calls "Blindshoe."
The Happy Halfling: The Halfling is a cozy place with a lot of rugs, squishy armchairs, cushions, and warming fires. It comes highly recommended as a place to get some sleep or just to relax.
The Wemic Comes to Westbridge: The name of this diner is displayed in red letters on a signboard depicting a rearing, weapon-brandishing wemic. It's run by the short and cheery Helisa Ithcanter, of Baldur's Gate. The Wemic is a sunny, plant-filled place with a small menu and perfect dishes. In winter, servings shrink to a starvation diet of pickled fish, salt pork, hardbread, sausage, and pickles. In fall, expect a feast
Westbridge Brewers: This winery makes two red wines and a red ale. The wines are both forgettable; one is bitter, leaving a stale, coppery taste on the tongue, while the other is too sweet. The ale is so powerful and strong that it leaves the most rugged barbarian lying in his own sick.
