Gosferd is a village in the Duchy of Urnst.
Description
Gosferd is a minor village on a trade route between Leukish and Nellix. Much of the trade to and from Nyrond passes through this village, making it mildly prosperous.[1][2] It is generally a friendly village and there are numerous small farms and livestock herds near the village.
Geography

Government
Gosferd is administered by Lord Dyvas (Dah-VIE-ass) Panothal of House Panothol(a cadent house of House Pontirun), but he rarely bothers with such minor holdings. Cifert, (male human (Suel) Com1/War2), the village cooper and head of the local watch, handles the town affairs for the most part.[3] Cifert's accomplishments include the construction of the town jail and the organization of the town militia of 5 watchman (human (Suel) Com1).
