Pen Cannoc

Pen Cannoc sits on a promontory overlooking the Trand river as it plunges from the Uchalion plateau into the Vlandian lowlands. Legends speak of the water-nymphs who live in the dark pools under the rock, luring travellers and invaders to their deaths, except on those rare occasions when they fall in love with a hero and grant him victory and blessings. Certainly the fisherfolk of this region have learned respect for the perils of the upper Trand, where a small misstep on slippery stone can cast one off a precipice into the waters below.
