It's not on the map but my character Aehrlon's village of Brandyllwyne would be in the western edge of the High Forest. He likely was in Waterdeep on an errand for the Harpers and took on the caravan duty to be of use but also because his superiors in the faction asked him to go to Red Larch & look in on the strange happenings & odd reports out of the town (and report any notable information to their agent in town). So, yes, Jack, sounds very good to me! The others in the company would notice some things about Aehrlon on the journey. For one, he is one of the more handsome elves they've seen, though he is not vain. No surprise, he's also very agile and is very skilled with his long bow. He's also made himself of use fixing arrows for others in the company with his bowyer/fletcher artisan's tools. Being highly vigilant he usually says little on the road but is friendly enough in camp. He seems to enjoy the company of the Rangers in the group in particular as he has much in common with them... he has spent many years as a scout and on border patrols in the High Forest. He would exchange stories with his new found friends and ask about theirs, making sure to pay attention. When Derwin asked about the shiny medallion with the the unicorn head carved into it that he wears under his tunic (which slipped out one day) he would tell Derwin that it's a token of his faith and also a medal for service to his town. He became a bit of a hero a few years back leading a force of elves, half-elves and men against agent of a tyrant that had taken over the neighboring village of Benton's Hollow. Those servants of the Cult of the Dragon were driven off, some being captured and slain. Their leader sadly escaped and is still at large...
