Nestled in the rolling hills east of the Rodeneck Pass, Leinzen is a picturesque village surrounded by lush forests and fertile fields. The villagers, known for their hardiness, have their resilience forged by harsh winters and the constant threat of bandit raids.
At the heart of Leinzen stands a unique chapel dedicated to Gjord, the deity of harvest and protection. This modest stone structure, which also serves as a granary, is adorned with carvings depicting bountiful harvests and scenes of agricultural life. Inside, the scent of dried herbs hangs in the air, and stained-glass windows cast colorful light onto the floor.
The villagers regularly gather at the chapel to offer thanks for their harvests and seek Gjord's blessings for the coming seasons. During winter, the granary side becomes a communal space where villagers share stories and maintain their sense of community while drawing from stored grain to sustain themselves.
The trade route to the Marbek Valley is vital for Leinzen, bringing in essential goods and connecting the village to the larger realm. Villagers sell herbs, medicinal plants, and handmade crafts to passing merchants, ensuring the village remains a vibrant part of a broader community.
