Welcome.
The Hornstown Herald is a fictional newspaper set in the county of Green Hills. The Herald reports on the idiotic lives of the people of Panchestor, Hornstown, Littlepool and Cocktwaite.
The paper is edited by me, septuagenarian, Enoch Bentley. I have edited the Herald for the last 40 years and will keep at it while my back legs hold out.
The paper is owned by the former rock and roll superstar, Ricky Raccoon. His son Fred Raccoon often contributes music and videos.
Green Hills county was discovered in 1898 by John Horn. Mr. Horn found silver and created the John Horn Silver Mine. In 1914 the Nettleworth family (a bunch of gangsters) moved in, and after the bloody battle of Pastor's field, the family took control of the County. In 1923 the Nettleworths declared Green Hills a Dukedom and built a minor castle on the edge of Panchestor.
The Nettleworths have continued to rule to this day, and though they might, at first sight,
seem gentrified do not be fooled, there is steel beneath those sleepy eyes.
Green Hills County is located around fifty miles south-east of Magna City. The county is surrounded on all sides by formidable hills, crags and sheer drops and apart from the treacherous Yellow Ravine the only way into the county is through McCulloch Pass. To enter the pass you need to first call at the McCulloch coach house and arrange either a horse or wait for a carriage - motor vehicles are banned in Green Hills with the exception of the Duke's cars, and the emergency services.

Green Hills County is located around fifty miles south-east of Magna City. The county is surrounded on all sides by formidable hills, crags and sheer drops and apart from the treacherous Yellow Ravine the only way into the county is through McCulloch Pass. To enter the pass you need to first call at the McCulloch coach house and arrange either a horse or wait for a carriage - motor vehicles are banned in Green Hills with the exception of the Duke's cars, and the emergency services.
The first town you hit when you exit the pass is the main town of Panchestor. Panchestor is the centre of commerce and culture.
Hornstown lies to the west and still supplies the workforce for the John Horn Mining Company. Littlepool is a fishing village to the east of Panchestor, on the edge of Lake Doris. Further to the east you come to Cocktwaite a beautiful village set on a hillock amongst trees in the shadow of the Green Hills. Cocktwaite is the home of choice for the rich and famous.
