Demographics

Keld is a bustling settlement teeming with a diverse population that mirrors the recent shift in Zaerus' policies towards inclusivity. Humans remain the majority, representing a varied tapestry of ethnicities, cultures, and social backgrounds. Dwarves, while a smaller portion of the population, hold a notable presence, contributing their craftsmanship and wisdom to the town's fabric. With the winds of change blowing through Zaerus, the town now sees a growing influx of other races – halflings, and gnomes – each bringing their unique perspectives and skills. Among the inhabitants, wealth classes differ widely, from prosperous merchants who have thrived through trade, to hardworking farmers who tend the surrounding fields.

Government

Keld's governance is a blend of tradition and modernity, symbolizing the evolving values of Zaerus. An elected council, composed of representatives from various professions, races, and social strata, steers the town's course. Torga Redeye, a venerable and respected dwarf, presides over the council as its head. The council's laws emphasize communal well-being, trade relations, and cooperation, embodying the town's commitment to progress. Taxes levied are moderate and are channeled into essential services, infrastructure development, and the maintenance of the town's defenses.

Infrastructure

Keld's industrious spirit is visible in its well-developed infrastructure, a testament to the ingenuity of its residents. Watermills, ingeniously powered by the meandering stream nearby, churn out freshly milled flour, sustaining the town's bakeries and kitchens. The network of roads connecting Keld to its neighboring settlements and the capital is meticulously maintained, facilitating efficient trade and communication. Within the settlement, modest foundries produce an array of tools and ironwork, supporting the town's day-to-day needs. The Rael Tradehouse, a hub of regional commerce, buzzes with activity, ensuring goods flow smoothly in and out of the town.
