Surrounded by forest on all sides, Runswick is a village on the border of the Ragged Coast and The Deep Wilds. Small homes, workshops, and gathering areas dot the landscape with many well worn paths connecting centers of activity. Many small gardens are made up of potted plants, providing much of the food for those that live here. A short walk to the East lies a large open area where stone plinths once laid homage to long forgotten gods. These fields now provide an area for grains to flourish.
Runswick lays claim to the lands that surround it. The River claims the boundary to the North and to the East while the West and South are marked by one day's journey from a standing stone in the center of the village. This border is re-claimed annually once the ground has thawed. Patrols are sent in several directions to place - or replace, thin bands of iron onto tree trunks at regular intervals claiming that this land belongs to Runswick.
