    In the original module, there is mention of a village in the lower Kron Hills named Ostverk (page 4 of Module T1-4)

    "4. Ostverk: This small village lies just within the territory
    of the Fey of Celene. Its population is quite small,
    comprising only 25 gnome families. It is governed by
    an elven mayor, Waldgraf Talarien Carewlein, and has
    a permanent garrison of 50 elven warriors. The elves
    live in a small fortress built upon an imposing knoll overlooking
    the village, and it is their task to prevent unauthorized
    entry into the Kingdom of Celene. They are
    very proud of their position, seeing themselves as the
    protectors of the state, and take their duty quite seriously.
    An inn has been set aside for uninvited travelers
    wishing to enter Celene, and they must wait there until
    permission to continue has arrived from Enstad. Most,
    however, give up the enterprise long before permission
    is given; a quick decision by elven standards takes far
    longer than the patience of an average human, gnome
    or even dwarf will allow." from Oerth Journal Volume 1, Issue #9
    Febuary 12th, 1999

    Also mentioned is that the foresters of the Waldgraf of Ostverk were involved in the area fighting against the spread of banditry leading up to the events of Emridy Meadows and the defeat of the temple.

    I'm good for any NC, of anykind, anywhere. Not worried about the legal details.

    Could be a location for WotGS plot so we dont mess with Hommlet anymore, if you are looking to include it for 7.0. I understand if you dont :)

    We don't want to get elves involved in all this ... ;)

    Part of the attraction of the mythical Etterboak is that it is technically within the square of the ToEE worldmap, whivh makes it a bit more personal. We could make any other off-map location like Veluna or Celene without regard for where it is otherwise. Ostverk is off the map to the southwest.

    Oh. I saw Kron Hills, and figured it would be on the map.

    Aye Captain! Full Speed Ahead!!

    EtterBoek exists if we SAY it exists!

    There better be some Ettins and Ettercaps there, though, or nearabouts anyway.

    Cannot believe you even ASKED if new content would be welcomed. There is always the option of the current version without NC. But nobody ever takes it ;)

    Give the Ettin's and Ettecaps some character levels and see the party's blood fly. :)

    I would very much enjoy any new content.

    Ooh, Veluna might be a cool one, as it's mentioned in the game and is a mysterious part of rescuing princess tilahi. I dont know about celene. But any of them sound good. I'm not picky.

    Well I for one will hope that the feedback and links will allow you to be convinced to add the new village and NPC's to interact with.
