This large village lies along the Forest High Road just as it emerges from the eastern edge of the Gnarley Forest. During the days before the Temple of Elemental Evil, Sobanwych was a thriving community which supported the trade from Celene, Verbobonc, the Kron Hills, and beyond. It had grown to a small town of about 800 inhabitants, many of whom have since relocated to either Caltaran or Dyvers. It is little more than a ghost town now, home to roughly 40 families who are clinging to the hope that trade will return. They are at once a downtrodden and hopeful lot and would be beholden to any who attempt to revive the Forest High Road trade. They fish the Serault River and its tributaries and farm the fertile land at the forest’s edge. The villagers pay homage to Wenta, Goddess of the Autumn, West Wind, and Harvest, and there is a large temple dedicated to her in the town square. Most of the town has been abandoned, but many buildings are still in good shape.
