Desperate Hope

Desperate Hope is a very small farming village located on the Great Falls Mesa. It resides to the northeast of Great Falls City and rests along the River Nebzu.

The Village is called desperate hope because it was built on rocky, hilly land, and was initially considered unfit for farmland, but the original settlers persisted in a desperate hope that their crops would grow.

History
The town is said to be the origin of the Legend of Nebin and Zenzu.

About 5 years ago, Desperate Hope was attacked by a Hill Giant. While most of the people fled, a young dragonborn barbarian by the name of Freddy stood alone to face him. Despite all odds, Freddy defeated the giant and saved Desperate Hope, evelating him to folk hero status.

After the Hill Giant incident, the village elders agreed that Desperate Hope was in strong need of protection should anything happen to Freddy. They enlisted Freddy to help them train a small militia in the following years.

After he was confident in the militia's abilities, Freddy left town to search for his long lost family.
