Refuge of the Fallen - Refugees of Ironview Storyline

100 Ironview Refugees travel into the forest, making their way for the fallen world tree. Lost and confused, they were inspired by the (perhaps unrealistic) message of a former village mayor named Prospiro, who suggested carving a city into the side of the trunk. The heroes protected the caravan from a kobold attack and found a map of the forest, divided into grids, with many grids X'd out.

Then they led the refugees to the tree (after suffering some setbacks) and found an abandoned kobold village, much of which had been turned to stone when the tree fell. They made this their home, and spend the next three months building human-sized dwellings, a city wall, a militia yard, and a lumber mill. They name the place New Stonestown.

One of the refugee heroes, ran for mayor on a platform of military strength. When the village suffered a major attack by Goblins and Kobolds together, another map was discovered on an attacker's corpse.

The heroes deduced that the map meant the forces they had encountered were searching the forest for something, and set out for the Druid Circle to see if the Druids knew what was going on in the forest.

They were interrupted in their journey by the discovery of another village of refugees, this one with few survivors and in desperate need of help, named Silverleaf.
