Description
A small village in the northern Whispy Woods; the home of Ned Frost. To the north lies water, possibly a lake, and to the west some small hills. The village consists of numerous single-storied cottages, which surround a pigsty, a sheepfold and a well. The houses are constructed of undressed stone and are roofed with sod. They have windows shuttered with pieces of hide, low doors, packed dirt floors, and a smoke hole in the roof. The were quite small and unadorned, supplied with only the most necessary and basic things for furniture and commodities. According to Ned, there are at least three other villages south of Winterhaven.

The village also includes Ned's keep. The keep itself is a long and low building, made with logs and roofed with sod and big enough to hold thirty to fifty men at best. The door to the hall is made of two flaps of deer hide. The windowless hall is a single room, with a sleeping loft above reached by a pair of rickety ladders. Only Ned has a chair inside, and all others sit on the benches. There is a firepit in the center of the dirt floor, and hounds run around. There is also a cellar.
