Humans dominate the Fairknot village of Barnemouth, but it is also home to a considerable number of northern-based wood elves. These elves fled persecution by the northern orc tribe, the Drakescales. Barnemouth is the largest town along the Fairknot River before it spills into the north end of the Omerian Ocean. The town is known for its massive statue of Godefroi Barnemouth the Loving, a contemporary of Camor. Those passing through often comment that the statue does not look like a paladin, but more like an older, loving grandfather. Despite his years of service for the northern armies, this is how Barnemouth preferred to be remembered.

Interestingly, there are no temples in Barnemouth. At one point, the city was home to worshippers to Tholona the Dawn and General Ilwyn, God of Summer. During the Cleansing that followed the War of Gnohr, the early Barnemouthers collapsed the temple. While the aggression towards religious worship isn't as strong as it was two hundred years ago, those who follow divine faiths— including paladins—are shunned by the locals. The Drakescale orcs have once again started their march south towards Fairknot River. Already, the town of Camor has reported attacks in the forests north of their village. It's only a matter of time before Barnemouth sees action.
