In the world of the Errant Road on-line free-form role-playing game, a small town in Veracia, not yet actually visited, but extremely important for a number of the game's activities. Needless to say, it doesn't exist in the Poe-verse that we know of, although it has certain parallels to the town of Santuariel there (but seems like a considerably more pleasant place to live).

The thing that makes this little place notable, and also makes it resemble Santuariel, is that it's a quiet haven for half elves to avoid detection and execution by elven rangers who are committed to wiping them out. It has gained this status through the intervention of PC Drusia Valis, herself a Peregin who fought on the "wrong" side in the Errant War as did Sarine Elle in Errant Story itself, and who, like Sarine, roams the world liquidating real Errants while leaving the healthy half elves -- like those in Snamish -- alone and even protecting them as needed. Drusia, however, goes even further as a protectress of half elves than Sarine, because many of the half elves of Snamish are in fact descended from her. Indeed, fellow PC Sister Rose was married to a half elf from Snamish named Kenny Lucas, whose death while serving in the military devastated Rose (who was there when it happened) and remains a puzzle to his many-times-great-grandmother Drusia.

Snamish is not just part of the backstory of Errant Road, but also part of its future. Drusia has discovered that PCs Lillith and Suriah qualify as "healthy" half elves, and wants to take them to Snamish to protect them (from nasty Errant-hunter Bauti among others), as well as to, er, diversify the gene pool there. Rose has her own reasons for visiting Snamish, as she's on good terms (apparently following a rocky start) with her in-laws there and hasn't seen them in a long time. Unfortunately, circumstances just keep getting in the way ...

We really don't know much about Snamish as a town, but both Drusia and Rose have suggested that it's a pretty nice place, apparently in contrast to Santuariel, which Ian described in less than flattering terms before he got Anilisized.
