Places of Interest

The Station: An abandoned coaching stop with a weather-beaten sign reading Terrapin Station. A slate tacked to the outside bears the cryptic message “All Coaches Delayed.”  Inside the station is little of interest aside from a parchment map(?) with eight symbols: Hawk, Elephant, Bear, Turtle, Fish, Fox, Lion, and Bat.

The Tumulus: A megalithic passage grave(?) with elaborate carvings on the passage wall. The lintel stone above the entrance bears a carving of a Turtle. The entrance is covered by a mound but the passage seems to go deep into the laccolith on which it sits. Outside the entrance is a group of eight menhirs.

The Statue: A crumbling female figure holding a fan with another figure crouched or kneeling before her. Both figures are timeworn making it difficult to discern much detail and the base is concealed by a bramble of wild roses.

The Hamlet of Terrapin: A small collection of simple timber and wattle and daub buildings, home to perhaps fifty families. The inhabitants are a mix of anthropomorphic animals with otter, muskrat, beaver, raccoon, dog, and deer predominating. The economy appears to be primarily agricultural with some handicrafts. They harvest wild rice and crayfish from the nearby marsh as well as reeds for construction.
