Off the beaten path and not connected to any major highways or roads, the little town is not a place many people know of, or come across often. It is surrounded by forests and green pastures. Quaint, quite, and traditional would be three words to describe it. It is one of those towns where everyone knows everyone. It’s at least 40 minutes to the nearest Walmart. Erehwon has no chain stores or fast-food places, only the family owned just mom and pop stores, and a local diner. Like many small towns, Erehwon has its secrets. Even some the local humans populace have no idea about... You would be wrong to assume that it is a tired little place, where nothing ever happen, for within the seemingly boring little town lays the world of the supernatuals. Hidden with glamour, magic, and secrets is the other side of Erehwon. Underneath the surface hidden from mortal eyes is the magical side also known as Nowhere Vermont; A hidden world of Vampires, Werewolves, Fae, Witches, magic and more. Nowhere is a place where the supernatural types flock. And it is home of the prestigious Gringore Academy. Sleepy little Erehwon was built in 1788 upon a magic rift, so it has always been a place shrouded in an abundance of magic. [hider=Places in Town] More to be added as they are mentioned in the IC.
