Originally established in the shadow of Quasi Mountain of Mol-Rehan, Darkenstone is now settled on Independence in the Freedom Isles. Solid buildings of stone and mortar anchor this community to the land, while natural expanses of parkland and forestry give a feeling of open, free space. Natural resources are available in abundance with vast room for expansion.

Wynnger, our village center, is to Early days of the southwest of Darkenstone, nestled deep Canal in the woods next to Mount Darkenstone. More private and rarely gotten to by accident or mistake, Wynnger is our living and working quarters. It is a place of peace and tranquility where we can create our wares to be sold at the port without worrying about others "borrowing" anything we may have left out for a bit. Our village center is built around a large square where villagers gather to work, chat, and otherwise enjoy the mountain and sea air. A mailbox and altars to Fo, Vy, and Mag complete this tranquil settinglate 2009.
===Village Buildings===At Darkestone Port, we have a Port Authority building with trader that is open only to our villagers for the moment, though we foresee opening it to the public soonhttp://i201.

To make moving items across the canal easier, there are two storage buildings at the north end of the canal kept full of carts and rafts.
