A small village in the Northern Reach, Northwood is best known as the birthplace of the Heathen Prophet. The Church of the Heathen Prophet now runs the town, mainly as a pilgrimage site and tourist attraction although there are still some full time residents. Northwood's main employer is of course the Heathen Church, who owns the lodgings and pays for the maintenance of the town, with a few private shops catering to the needs of the town's residents. Northwood's logging businesses has downsized considerably as a result of the Heathen Church's purchase of most of the town, but a few holdouts still work the forest.
