Loch Undun

Loch Undun sits on the shores of a lake of the same name. Thanks to the lake's seemingly unending supply of giant fish, Loch Undun enjoys a prosperity unknown to most fishing villages. The citizens are fiercely loyal to one another and deeply mistrustful of outsiders, who they perceive as jealous of the lake and its "secrets". The lake itself is home to a sunken city of stone. The town is unusual for it's size in that its citizens practice a paganistic water spirit religion rather than the Cult of the Fifteen.

Demographics

Overwhelmingly human, but there are strong Undine, Orc, and Halfling populations.

Government

Loch Undun is ruled over by Lord Dracsis, who's family is said to have settled the area long before The Empire.

Industry & Trade

A small guild of Cryomancers have monopolized the fish trade, keeping the tasty unique fish of the lake cold and fresh for long-range transport. There is also booming business for artifact hunters who dive beneath the lake to explore the settlement beneath the lake.

Guilds and Factions

The Fisher's Assembly is a union of all the fishermen in Loch Undun, who hold a significant amount of bartering power. The Tower adventuring guild maintains a small outpost near the lake. A small sect of The Eye cryomancers have set up shop here.

Architecture

Most of the buildings in Loch Undun are squat, square structures made of Bluestone hauled from the deeps of the lake. The stone seems to stick to itself, making for easy to construct buildings. The Deepdome is an underwater fighting arena. Deepwater Hold is a Bluestone castle home to House Dracsis, and it floats freely on the lake, allowing Lord Dracsis and his men to patrol his borders without ever leaving the castle. It is pulled by a massive team of hippocampi.
