Hinkerville

 

During the late 900s, Hinkerville is a major trade city in south central Toswald of some import to Kale. This formerly small town of humans become much bigger in recent years, and is now home to other races as well. During the 900s Hinkerville is a thriving community. Its bazaar is well-known for its sale of strange and obscure things, and its theaters have received critical acclaim for their performances of “The Opera of the Whun Ring” and “A Midwinter Morning’s Dungeon Crawl.” The Hinkerville public library, which has outrageous late fees, is one of the very best in the region. Fubar Yard, a crack detective agency, is based here, as is Kale’s Tree, the renowned place of interesting repute. The town is also well-known for its “monster joust rallies,” in which the jousters don’t stop until all the horses and knights have been totally demolished.

 

On the down side, Hinkerville also has some hobbit slums, where the families are typically large, low income, and unstable, and where trying to figure out if you're related to the person you want to marry is a huge undertaking. It also has what is called “The Mixen” about a mile out of town to the south. The Mixen is a dunghole resulting from the periodic Hinkerville sewer flushings. The Hinkerville sewer is badly out of date (it was never modified to accommodate the rising population), and must be flushed regularly, not only for sanitary reasons, but also to keep the substantial alligator infestation in check (Hinkerville is always hiring qualified sanitation engineers).

 

On New Year's eve of 999, Hinkerville is frozen in a giant block of ice as a result of a sequence of events generally referred to as "Frigid Doom," after which it is somehow brought into the heavens once Terrek is lost. Due to a series of complex political maneuvering, it is eventually deposited on the largely uninhabited 'lost world' of Pangea.
