Auchenshuggle

Don’t you just like saying it? I do!

When I was trying to think of a name for a smaller hamlet that’d come under the sway of a wizard, this quasi-Germanic thing popped into my head. So I featured it in The Knave of Nodderton.

Auchenshuggle is the hamlet that Gammond Brandyford works to save against a wrathwizard incursion.

A protectorate of Nodderton, Auchenshuggle exists as a river trading town along the Wych with maybe 2,000 people. It’s a small town, a hamlet, ruled by the Rendaldo family for generations.
