The Wealdhold, located approximately thirteen miles northwest of Myrkentown, is a loose conglomeration of shacks, shanties, subsistence-level farmsteads and tented encampments in the region immediately east of the Golben Pit. This ill-defined settlement stretches well into the East Weald, taking advantage of the forest for shelter and forage. Having been only recently acknowledged by passing traders and merchants, the Wealdhold is tentatively named for its most notable structure: the Look, originally housing for labourers within the Pit, since abandoned and now partly fortified with materials scavenged from the surrounding area. As a recent-established and unsanctioned settlement no official census of the colony's population has been made.
History
The Wealdhold is a relatively new feature on the Myrken Wood landscape, and specific information regarding its founding is unknown. Traders traveling North Passage Down discovered the Wealdhold after the melt of winter snow in 214 A.R. Wealdhold's growth coincides with the famine following the Red-and-Gold Summer, providing safe haven for transients, nomads, and the poor well outside Myrkentown's limits.
