Tiny World Building Challenge I

On the continent of Baroma, there is a small city in the north called Ravenwood. The winters are long and harsh, the forests dark. Horrible monsters make savage attacks in the night. The people are hard but generally loyal to each other. They are not much for outsiders. Who knows when one is hiding a monster? Your challenge is to create a character or story using this framework. Feel free to use details that other stories have provided but don’t kill off or change another’s character without permission. You have three months to develop this as far as you'd like with or without cooperation. Have fun folks!
