Light fog creeps over the town, mingling with the smoke of cookfires. Logs drift down the river that runs through the town, guided by strong and agile men. In unassuming homes and the back rooms of shops, stockpiles of weapons sit, ready and waiting.

Welcome to Vercon, a medieval town split in three by a river. Near its center sits an oval-shaped castle, visible from all across town. Some see it as a symbol of security, protection of the peaceful status quo. Others see it as a symbol of a bygone age, run by useless nobles.

Vercon has been occupied in some form or another for nearly a thousand years. Just a few feet beneath it, the ruins of its former self sit, burnt or destroyed time and time again. Most recently, a band of orcs from the north across the nearby sea attempted to raid the town, but were repelled by the guards.

Vercon’s climate is mild most of the year, but the spring rains can be quite heavy. Just outside of town, rye fields grow in fields whose boundaries are marked by hedges. Beyond that, shepherds guide sheep through the wilderness, bringing them back to town periodically to sell their wool.
