Lemore

The village of Lemore

Nestled inside a dense wood, a single stone tower juts above the treeline. Remnants of a wooden palisade burned and smashed in multiple places are visible to the east and a group of workers are attempting repairs.

Through the gaps in the wall and tree-line can be seen a collection of houses built in a mix of old Oredian and Flan styles some with a curious mix of Elvish ornamentation.

Four well armed spearmen stand guard at the gate.

Lemore is an old trading outpost sitting on the crossroads between Oleg Keep, Castle Blemu, and the settlements to the North and West. The citizens are mostly human and of Oredian and Flan mix while a few demi-humans have taken up residence. The town tends towards LE because of all the miscreants it has to deal with and strict code of ethics enforced by Turgen the cleric, though the population is generally open to visitors. Crime will be dealt with harshly.

Turgen Fallow is the acting mayor.

The town was attacked a fortnight ago and is still working on repairing the damage.

Tavern: The Black Bottle

Owner: Lerissa Grief, Halfling The tavern is a timber and brick simple building, with a tanned wooden roof and nicely trimmed hedges. The street outside is ominously quiet and empty. It contains a large open floor with pillars and cured meats and cheeses hanging from the ceiling.

Lerissa is not the most welcoming host having had her fill of brigands and will kick out humans, including current patrons.

Combat Training Field

Wooden and straw maniquens are setup in various arrangements representing troops in formations. Some are armed with pikes, swords, and covered with marks from weapon strikes.

The training fields are well kept and used daily.

Temple of Hextor

A dour looking building made of stone and wood covered in carvings of combat and martial fitness is nestled into the trees. A cleric strides back and forth in front a few militia men berating them before they resume weapons practice.

The cleric Turgen Fallow is training the militia. Four of the six are monks of Hextor and in excellent shape. Unless Turgen has reason to be aggressive he will greet the party professionally and expect them to answer respectfully in accordance with his position and title. If they are courteous he will engage in a brief conversation before he resumes instructing the troops.

Blacksmith: The Fear Pommel

Owner: Gunter Ryley, Human FTR 4

The blacksmith is a timber and brick single storey building, with large windows and vines covering the walls and roof. The street outside is filled with the smell of damp earth and cinder thats been dumped here to help keep feet out of the water. The sound of hammering followed by angry cursing can be heard coming form inside. Through the window a large variety of metal tongs hangs on the walls, and everything appears to be well kept.

Gunter is working on repairing and crafting weapons. He is behind schedule and Turgen will not be pleased.
