Gillamoor

A small town in northeast Valissa, Gillamoor sits right on the boarder of the swamps. The final stop in Valissa for those heading into Noxus via the northern route. Not all inhabitants of this town live within the low walls. Some are located out on farms in the surrounding countryside. Even though the mayor tries to not show it, the town is in extreme financial hardship.

Industy

The main export of Gillamoor is rasberries. They are harvested right before the summer solstice. A large portion of the towns funds come from these rasberries, though there are a few craftsmen in the city who also produce enchanted items and jewelery. Fishermen also bring in trout and perch from the nearby lake.

Defense

The town has a low stonewall standing roughly 8 feet high speradically around the permiter. The Valissan government also has stationed 10 guards here from the National Army. On request, the town can also rally a malitia of roughly 30 soldiers, though they are very under trained and under equipped.

Town Holidays

Every year on the summer solstice the town throws the Rasberry Festival. They have carnival games and rides in an attempt to keep the local moral and sense of community high.

Events in Gillamoor

Jeremy's Revenge (1st July 61SE - 15th July 61SE)
After years of rejection and building hatred. A young man named Jeremy found a hidden entrance to an old fort beneath the town. After searching these ruins, he discovered a powerful book. Months of studying the book went by and he learnt many different spells. Namely he learnt how to remove a persons soul and use it to power metal constructs. He began kidnapping male members of the town he considered rivals for the affections of the towns women. Weeks after the abductions began, a group of mercenaries calling themselves the Gallow Walkers arrived in town and offered to get to the bottom of the disappearences.
Another 2 weeks went by without any news of the missing townsfolk. Mayor Lucius Ballhammer insisted the town still hold the Rasberry Festival in the hopes of keeping the moral of the population up. During the festival the town was beset by Iron Warriors Jeremy had made who had seemlingly freed themselves of his control. Thankfully four out of towners stepped up to stop these constructs from killing any more people. The saviors were a Young Eladrin Paladin named Erik Kristen, A Human Figher called Corwin Hale, an older Human Cleric named Eamon Teriss and a strange Elven Rogue called Nyx Crowwalker. After defeating these creatures they took to the tavern to celebrate, with Corwin even heading home with Ellie. That night, Jeremy used his new found magic to lure Corwin into his dungeon.
The next day while the 3 others searched the town for him, Corwin broke himself and the other captured men out of the ruins. Once reunited, the group decided to head down into the ruins to face Jeremy with the aid of the Gallow Walkers. Word quickly reached them that the Gallow Walkers had left town after stealing a large portion of the towns funding and a cart from Boris. So alone this group set out and dispatched of Jeremy. Eventually they resurfaced and were dubbed the Heroes of Gillamoor.
