Melford

Melford is most likely named this becasue it is a place where one can ford the Mel River, there is a bridge there now, its construction was paid for by the Head Priestess at the Shrine of the Oracle Maenae ,who made a fortune in her youth adventuring. But the name remains

The area is well known for two things the fine silk goods produced there, (the silk to make these goods comes from the near by spider farm), and The Shrine of the Oracle.

It is a central town in a number of modules written by Stuart Marshall that I happen to quite like, the ones used in this campaign are The Melford Murder and Shrine of the Oracle.

I added a few things to this town, mainly its recently added fortifications, and its silly guards, but the internal layout is untouched.
