Terris Burg

Terris Burg is home to the survivors of displacemnt. Over the years, it has grown to be a thriving community where everyone provides what they can to support everyone else.   Everyone knows everyone, as the community of almost 1000 residents have spent almost multiple lifetimes with each other as time stands still in Ard'Vanwa... a byproduct of Erin's Wish   The Mages and Elves dedicated hundreds of years to researching the realm and the magic it has. They were able to craft a portal that can gather enough magical energy to break through the dimensional veil, and allow escape from this purgatory, and hopefully find a way back to their worlds.   Sadly, mere minutes into the first expedition, the first observed displacement occurred, and hopes of escape were dashed.   Erin Nyx devised a new plan. To use the talent and displacement effect to their advantage.   Since a portal was connected to a realm, they can send out expeditions to find people and help.   Erin plans to expand the influence of the Explorer's Guild into these realms, and allow her Explorers a chance to bring back supplies and information.   She feels the more people working on this problem, the better, and her goal is to get the portal to connect to as many realms as she can and search the multiverse for answers.

Demographics

Terris Burg is mostly dominated by Human, normal. and Halfling.

Dwarves and Elves are scarecer, but have gathered enough to form a collective society. There are also a small amount of Gnomes, and other intelegent refugees who are too small in number to categorize.

Government

The settlement is a true melting pot of culture.


Each demographic will elect 2 representatives to the Terris Burg City Council.

They become the main voice for that demographic and speak for their people!

The city is based on the communal organization. There is no money, as food and shelter are provided, and repairs are done by work orders.

Defences

The walls of Terris Burg can withstand repeated strikes from a Tarrasque. It was infused with Elvin magic and Dwarven Craftsmanship.

Industry & Trade

The only industry is communal, as there are no other settlements to trade to.    Thanks to the ingenuity of Erin Nyx and the Explorer's Guild, she figured out that people can be an export of Terrris Burg!

To get fresh supplies and goods, the Explorer's Guild will sell the services of their Explorers to local villages who are having troubles.... the talented Terrisians will bring home goods and products.

Infrastructure

In order for the Treaty of Terris Burg to work, it was agreed upon by the various races to delegate tasks to them, this will ensure a place in soceity, and allow them to work together.   The The Dwarven Trade Union became responsible for all tacticle construction. Weapons, Homes, Walls, anythinghing that can be built must be built by them.

Library of Mena'tu Elves were tasked with magic and research. Their job was to devote their time and work with the Magic-Users from the Human groups in order to find a way to break back into the multi-verse.

The halflings took over responsibility for farming and forestry. They are indespensible with their tracking and forest stealth skills. They are able to scavange and navigate the woods like it's their back yard.

The human are responsible for the administration of Terris Burg, and focus on the clerical orders to allow the food grown in the soil is purified through the Church of Worship

History

Terris Burg has a rough history. 
It started as a settlement of the The Displaced. Just small huts and tents near a small water supply. 
Infighting and theft were rampant, then the events of Erin's Wish happened, which transformed the landscape to what it is today.

Tourism

There is no tourism to Terris Burg. Anyone from any realm who enters Ard'Vanwa becomes affected by it's curse.

Anyone found bringing someone along with them to Ard'Vanwa will result in expulsion from the Explorer's Guild and a trial by the Councel

Architecture

The city is divided into sections, each section has predominant demography and the architecture reflects it.

Geography

Terris Burg sits in the middle of a freshwater lake. Erin's Wish created an unlimited supply of freshwater around the city.

No one knows its depths, as all attempts to plumb the depths brings about questionable results.

Natural Resources

Natural resources are few and far between inside the walls of Terris Burg. The halflings often organize reclamation teams that follow the local Tarrasque's wake of destruction, and haul back destroyed lumber and whatever trinkets, clothes, and articles they find that have become Displaced
