 New Shepford is the site of a lot of open space, appropriate for herding sheep. There is a thick tributary of the Rapid Creek running along the Western border of the settlement good for watering livestock. Locals call [[rapid_creek|this southern tributary]] just “South Creek.” An ancient, overgrown forest along this tributary is a source of concern, but the flat areas to the West along the tributary make for good pasture and farmland.  New Shepford is the site of a lot of open space, appropriate for herding sheep.

-Over the past five years, there has been talk of the settlement being cursed and the population of this seed of a new hundred began to dwindle as the [[gladfelter|Gladfelter family]] rapidly lost wealth and fell into poverty. The ruins of the old Shepford settlement still stands across the [[rapid creek|South Creek]].  The village is made up of about twenty families. Another ten homesteads lay unused in the village, and there are more slowly falling into ruin across the creek.+Over the past five years, there has been talk of the settlement being cursed and the population of this seed of a new hundred began to dwindle as the [[gladfelter|Gladfelter family]] rapidly lost wealth and fell into poverty.

 +Thick flocks of [[Squidpigeons]] have made life difficult. Before their arrival, the settlement was known for its thick flocks of sheep. However, since the pigeons began to flock five years ago they have slain entire flocks. Now, the village only raises livestock that it can move into cover when the Squidpigeons swarm. 
  
 Near the forest to the Northeast away from the village is a cemetery thick with those settlers who died much too early.  Near the forest to the Northeast away from the village is a cemetery thick with those settlers who died much too early.
