	In one of his several books concerning alchemy and natural philosophy, [[Gokar the Wise]], one of the founders of the [[University of Wydmoor]] claimed that ~~the village~~ (though he gave the location as far to the south in [[Celstia]]) was once home to one of the most powerful magical items he had personally witnessed: ~~a tree that produced magical but~~ cursed apples.

The midsummer fruit grants vigor, health, and life, while the midwinter fruit steals the same." Gokar credited [[Hadriarch Edi]] with helping him realize the source of the evil necromancy magic which was responsible for those apples and they destroyed it.

They claim the kobolds frequently have elemental sorcerers and ever increasing numbers so they have no choice but to pay.

A small borderlands farming village near [[Crestence]] but far enough away from [[Wydmoor]] and the [[Post-Alexia]] cities to be mostly forgotten and independent.

==History and Rumors==
The forests near Oakhurst surround a massive chasm which local legends and some ancient histories claim was formed when a citadel of a powerful ruler in the early [[Age of Demigods]] was destroyed in a powerful attack during the [[Cleansing Wars]] of that era which resulted in the entire fortress and its armies being swallowed into the earth.
