Retford is a small village on the road between
Ragenport and
Pell's Hold. It has a population of about 250 if the surrounding farms are
included of which over 95% are human. It is possible that the village has very ancient origins as the owners
of the Black Unicorn, the main village Inn, say that it was built before the founding of
Cambria itself.
The village is very prosperous because not only is it on the trade route between Ragenport and Pell's Hold but
also it is on the route from Sambia to Pell's Hold. The Black Unicorn has many rooms and is frequently full.
Its common room and the common rooms of the
other village inns are a good place to pick up gossip and tall stories from Cambria and further afield.
Many of the other village traders also make a healthy amount from passing travellers.
The village has its own little band of
King's Men much to the embarrassment of many of the residents. They have all been banned
from the Black Unicorn but on most days can be found drinking outside the Red Dragon and abusing any passers-by that they
dont like the look of.
