Briggdarrow is a hamlet located within Tepest. The community has gained an unwholesome reputation among the rest of Tepestani society for the weird phenomena that afflicts the place.[1]
Overview
Briggdarrow is plague by weird and volatile weather phenomena, and it holds a large number of elfshot citizens, many of whom had their shadows stolen in 751 BC according to the claims of the Tepestani Inquisition recorded in Gazetteer V.[1] This is a reference to the depredations of Prince Mohrg, who ravaged Briggdarrow and forced many of its citizens to abdicate their shadows in order to produce many muryankin changelings[2] Consequently, many of the people have abandoned the town. Though only formerly the Tepestani's Inquisition's lead Inquisitor here, Inquisitor Hanton maintains a watchful eye the town in the belief that if the fey touched people are not held in check, the influence of the fey will spread to the rest of Tepest. However, the rest of the Inquisition has yet to yield to his demands for more of the Inqusition's presence.[1]

Besides being the biggest wine producers in Ravenloft Brigdarow caters to tourists. It is a village of 3000 people in Tepest Rich nobles sometimes come into the village just for the view. Though dangerous the forests of Tepest are beautiful outside of the Hagwood and the view from Brigdarow is spectacular. It isn't the most popular tourist spot in Ravenloft as it is too small for a large tourist trade but there are no less than three inns with cabins in back on top of a high hill.
The biggest inn is the Tipsy Bard. It has no less than 4 local vines. Although not the best quality they are more than able to get you good and drunk. Of course the main dishes are mutton. Despite the tendency of the patrons getting drunk the mutton is quite good. The locals demand good mutton as the domain is known for that. The Tipsy Bard has no less than a dozen large tables and 3 dozen cabins out back.
If you if like the smell of grapes and wine you will love Bridarow as the smell is everywhere. There are huge vineyards and a number of big wineries. The wineries are able to produce tens of thousands of gallons of wine. They are sold mainly by the keg to taverns all over the core.
The village is run by a boisterous drunk by the name of Baron Abram Von Weintrinker who samples too much of the product. However when he is sober he fights better than the other barons. More reckless than the other barons he disdains the shield and wields a great axe . He is the youngest of the barons and if it weren't for his height he could be mistaken for dwarf with his long beard and mustache, broad shoulders and thick legs. In respect to things other than fighting he is less competent than the other barons due to his drunkenness. He does have an affinity for dwarves and so they are OR 0 in Brigdarow. Rich dwarves frequent the inns here as the locals have no disdain for them and there is a lot of strong , cheap booze for sale. [8]
