From publisher blurb:
Dellerwood is built in, around, and among the questing roots of the great hardwood trees of the deep forest. Peopled by beekeepers, woodcutters, hunters, and miners, the village is relatively prosperous—if for no other reason than there are several ruins deeper into the woods often visited by adventurers, who must stop in Dellerwood for supplies.
In the foothills a few miles away there is an excellent source of copper. Miners consume vast quantities of charcoal smelting the raw ore into ingots of raw copper they bring to Dellerwood and thence on to the city. It is said there would be not a single copper coin in circulation were it not for Dellerwood’s miners.
The village is most famous, however, for its bees. For generations, villagers have been known for honey, beeswax, and other bee-based products of the highest quality. Anyone coming near the village is first approached and inspected by a bee or two. The thing is these bees are as big as your leg!
