Longsaddle
Village in The Savage Frontier
Longsaddle is a ranching village on the Long Road, home to the Harpells, a large and eccentric family of wizards.
Cattle graze on open grassland around a rambling, ivy-covered mansion, and every so often a bang and a puff of coloured smoke make the herds stampede.

Overview
Longsaddle lies on an isolated stretch of the Long Road, east of the Crags and west of the Evermoors. Its people raise cattle and horses on the surrounding plains, and roads lead to Morgur's Mound, Helm's Hold and Flint Rock.
The village is best known for the Harpells, a family of wizards who live in the Ivy Mansion. They are generous and powerful, but their experiments often go spectacularly wrong.
