Wartime destruction just within the city walls was extensive; many residents of Ravens Bluff lost their homes. The halflings among them rallied to a newly built village not far east of Ravens Bluff, in the wooded hills just north of the Fire River (the ones that form the horizon for those looking out from the city walls). The village of New Hope was built with funds provided by Lady Kassandra (with the assistance of the Clerical Circle, the druids of Chauntea, and Dean Korbandor of the Wizards Guild). The settlement centers around a temple to Arvoreen built into a hillside, providing secure granaries and fortified dwelling-delves for the entire village population in the event of an attack or severe winter weather. At the dedication of the Doors of the Defender, Lady Kassandra spoke of the founding vision sent to her by Arvoreen and expressed her hope that the village will soon be able to assist in the feeding of Ravens Bluff's hungry thousands.

Note: According to Dan Donnelly, New Hope is just north of Ravens Bluff. The above reference to being "east" is erroneous.
A trail leads from New Hope, eventually joining the Mosstree Trail, to reach Ravens Bluff after about 15 miles. It's almost a day's travel on foot and less than half a day on horseback.
