Description
[edit | edit source]Gosferd is a minor village on a trade route between Leukish and Nellix. Much of the trade to and from Nyrond passes through this village, making it mildly prosperous.[1][2] It is generally a friendly village and there are numerous small farms and livestock herds near the village.
