Dornhagen

Dornhagen is large village in Schaperach in Schap with a population of about 510.

Its location just about one hour on foot downstream from Wachet Castle and right on the Wachetbury river makes it a small port and market, and given more time it may well grow into a town.

Unfortunately, the dense forest around Dornhagen makes is challenging to clear for fields, and with the needs of the nearby castle, growth is rather slow. The demand for craftsmen in the castle also means that Dornhagen has a rather high percentage of non-peasant population, at least for a village. Nevertheless, the settlement is self-sufficient and contributes a major part of the food consumed in Wachet Castle.
