The following is an entry
in my series on Ultimate Greyhawk. Much like how comics and
movies will reboot a franchise with a new take on an old concept,
this is my personal re-imagining of the Greyhawk Campaign Setting
beginning with the venerable town of Hommlet.

Key to the Village
The following locations are
numbered based on how they appear on the map of the village of
Hommlet as found in the module T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil.
3. The Woodcutter's
Cottage
Bison, a solitary woodcutter
lives in this small cottage. He is a follower of the Old Faith and
good friends with Jaroo the Druid, as well as a member of the the
local militia. Bison, like his name sake is a shaggy haired, hulk of
a man that wields his woodman’s axe with ease and great skill. He
is also a man with a dark secret. Hidden in the false bottom of a
trunk in his home and wrapped in oil cloth is a magical battle axe.
The axe has a demon bound within it that continually whispers
murderous thoughts in Bison's mind by day and torments him with
horrible visions in his dreams. The axe was once Bison's fathers and
it drove him into madness and a series brutal serial killings before
he was finally discovered and killed. Bison fears the axe and that he
may be heading down that same path as his father.
