Places: Beth-Hill

Beth-Hill, Ohio actually exists. It is really almost surrounded by a State Park, which actually includes almost 5,000 acres of mostly woods and a large lake. Obviously, names have been changed to protect the innocent or something like that.

Beth-Hill got its name from Bethany Daulton (the town was called Daultonsville for its founder at first), who was stolen away by the elves almost two hundred years ago and returned home seven years later, pregnant and half-mad.

Originally, the hill was a fairy hill, and one of the few places a normal person could get through the Veil that separates the human world from Faerie, but no one is certain where the hill once stood, or where it is now.

Folklore says that Jacob Daulton, Bethany's father, died at the top of the hill when he was struck by lightning and/or trampled by a horse, but the only person who knows the whole truth is Kyren, and he doesn't like to talk about it.
