Coppercoil

Coppercoil is a small forest gnome settlement located inside the castle-sized stump of what was once an enormous tree. Coppercoil is at the foot of the northernmost area of the kite mountains.

First Sighting
You make your way through the forest. As you journey deeperinto the wild, the trees grow larger and larger. Soon you areamong towering sequoias with trunks wider than taverns ortemples. You scramble around massive roots, some as high asyour shoulders. In places, mammoth trees have fallen, or havedied where they stand – shelfs of mushrooms and carpetsof moss and vines grow over them. You hear birdsong fromthe limbs high above you and you occasionally spot deer andsmaller animals among the trees. You smell damp earth and old fallen leaves. You reach a massive stump standing alone in a clearing. It is the size of a castle, and the bark is deep brown highlighted by copper streaks. There is one branch protruding near the top, and at the base ahead of you is a dark hollow like the entrance to a cave, partially covered by a hanging curtain of rust-colored moss.

Population
The city is inhabited by about 30 gnomish families.

History
The City was established 612pw by Rooni Larderspice, a forest gnome druid who maintains an aerie of messenger bats. Rooni helps far-flung communities stay in touch with each other using her bats; the outpost functions as a kind of post-office. Over the years, a few other gnomes have taken up residence in the settlement, including a rock gnome alchemist, Baywin Badsyrup, and a family of mushroom farmers. One unusual local resident is Silas, a friendly giant octopus who lives in a natural underground lake beneath the stump and visits the gnomes through a fountain they have created.

Governing Body
Rooni Larderspice still governs over the town today.

Economy
Most of the gnomes living here farm mushrooms.
