Barkstone is located on the Western end of the Mouse Territories. Its gates were built into the trunk of a Locust tree backed up to an outcropping of stone. The town lies inside. Known for being home to artisans and craftsmice, Barkstone is the destination for the best in glass, furniture and other goods.[1] Barkstone is a working-class town. In addition to the shops and tradesmice, there is an inn for travelers, a bar for locals, a well-maintained archive of written records and quite a few harvesters. At one time, a few other cities like Woodruff's Grove and Ferndale were between Barkstone and Darkheather. Now that those cities have fallen, Barkstone's surroundings are more at risk of predatory attack than before. [2]
