Small village on the main road network, geographically closest to the trade routes between Grimstead and Ravenmoor.
Character: Officially under Grimstead's rule and subject to its embargo on Ravenmoor. In practice, Oakhaven's local elders quietly facilitate midnight exchanges with Ravenmoor's lower merchants. Ravenmoor gets grain. Oakhaven gets the Blood Faith's medicinal salves that Grimstead's own apothecaries cannot match. Nobody talks about it. Everyone benefits.
Oakhaven is not ideologically sympathetic to Ravenmoor. It is simply practical in a way that the Gilded Rise, safely distant from the consequences of the embargo, never has to be.
