Origin and History
In the hundreds of years since its establishment, the village of Guffinhall passed many times between Generican and Antagonese hands (and at least once, Northraiders). It was never valued for its wealth, size, or prestige, only for its location near the one bridge over the Pale for many leagues—known locally as "the Old Bridge." There are still scattered remains of the Old Imperial road to be found, suggesting it may have been built on the site of an older settlement in the area. Its industry is primarily agriculture and livestock.
- In the Starkweather family for generations
- Escheated to Markis Egowe after [Rayna's Husband]'s death
