- Ferranzo lives in the town from which Lindun moved.
You can choose a town or village in Greyhawk (as some players have done) or you can invent one of your own (as other players have done); either works.

- Ferranzo doesn’t know that Lindun is dead, just missing.
- A traveling merchant, Duric, friend to both Ferranzo and Lindun, passed occasional correspondence between them. He was the one who informed Ferranzo of Lindun’s disappearance.
I like it! You've come, tired from the trip, and find the village much more chaotic and paranoid than you remember. Why? Where is Lindun?

Is there another settlement in the area besides Hochoch that has trainers for leveling up?
Not that anyone has encountered in the game, no, though Lyrel has discovered that one of the residents in Orlane is a class trainer. There may be others in the village, though Orlane is much smaller than the town of Hochoch. There's also the major metropolis of Hookhill, a similar distance from Orlane in the opposite direction (east) from Hochoch. It's the capitol city of Gran March, a completely different country (and there's a border to cross to reach it, though traffic from Orlane has dried up recently and the guards might be a bit lax from inactivity).
