Bryn Shander Town Hall

Bryn Shander's town hall is the largest building that borders the central square. It is reserved for community events on various holy days and celebrations. The hall was also built to house refugees from other towns in case of an emergency. Its ground floor consists of an assortment of smaller meeting rooms surrounding a large hall. They are plainly furnished allowing them to quickly turn into shelters. Several nearby storage rooms contain countless bedrolls, blankets, and stockpiles of dried food and medical supplies.
In the back of the hall, a short flight of stone steps leads to the basement. Timber beams reinforce frozen, hard-packed earth walls, while the floor is laid with smooth stone slabs. Sheriff Markham has set up his office close to the guardroom. Two dozen holding cells with steel doors are also nearby. One of his two deputies can be always found in the office willing to relay messages.
A stair in the entrance hall leads to the upper floor where the speaker's and the clerk's offices are located. Duvessa spends most of her time here, working on legislation and handling the town’s current social and logistical problems. Duvessa's goal is to advocate for unity and to mend Ten-Towns' broken relations.
A ladder at the end of the hallway leads to a narrow attic holding the town's chronicles. Dusty cabinets are filled with ancient scrolls and contracts. Diaries of former speakers sit in these shelves speaking of old times.
