Quickwater
Quickwater is a small town along the bank of the Quick River. They are "salt of the earth" type folk who work long days, mostly fishing and farming. It is run by a local elected leader, Sil. It's a fairly quiet town, not a whole lot happens here.
Along with fishing and farming, Quickwater is on one of the major roadways of the Petor Empire so it is a frequent stop of weary travelers looking for a soft place to lay their head, get a good meal, and work off the stress of travel at The Velvet Petal.

Government
Quickwater is governed by an elected mayor. They have a town hall meeting every 4 months with anyone from the community who wants to join. There the mayor answers questions, pitches ideas, and explains any changes coming down from the empire. Typically, 100-200 townspeople show up. Once every year there is a required town meeting that everyone who resides in Quickwater must attend. At this town meeting they do a formal count of the citizens in order to report back to the crown.
