Fearna Glac (Alder Glade) is a small settlement on the Quintus River. It's well placed between Baile Copair (Copper Town) and the mines providing a welcome break in journeys both ways. It has ample mooring and the short distance to the main track on the route, encourage travellers by road and river.
Alder Glade is has ten houses and an inn. They all show stark signs of old battles with most having scorch marks and a few being in ruins. Recent repairs, extensions with ongoing work and a few tents in ruined buildings demonstrate the importance of this waypoint. The defences are being enhanced with a willow fedge (fence hedge) being created around the settlement.
Dominating the hamlet is the Unruly Pig Inn. The three buildings form a large courtyard with a pigsty and apple press visible within. One of the buildings is clearly a recent construction having been constructed in the lunar style. The apple orchard behind the inn supplies the ingredients for their excellent cider.
