Verilians mercy

Located in the north-eastern region of Haelmark, Verilians mercy is a bastion of civilization in an otherwise wild and untamed land.
Verilians mercy is built on top of a gnome settlement and is named after the mercy Verilian, second of Haedus showed by personally taking care of three hundred and seventy two orphans after the final battle in the hunt of Barekonus the wood serpent.
Serving as an observation post of the crawling woods, Verilians mercy serves as one of the most important settlements in the nation, since it is the only one actively trying to suppress the spread of the woods. So far, all attempts to stop the spreading have been unsuccessful.
In Verilians mercy one can find, among other things:

• A garrison of the Haelmarkian army, tasked with keeping the roads safe to allow the timber harvested to be used in the rest of the nation.
• A branch of Haelmarks academy called the Dragons tail, which houses the faculty's of botany and zoology, transmutation and evocation. As well as having several archaeologists, historians and other general educators on staff.
• The northern church of Headus´ grand cathedral, funded directly by Verilian and currently operated mostly by the orphans he saved. They preach the freedom of choice and that everyone should be allowed the chance to be in direct control of their lives.
• One of the main headquarters of the Callers, a guild of news speakers that keep the regular people informed about the happenings of the world.
• The Verilian markets, through which most of the timber produced in Haelmark moves.
• The main enclave of the Shattered tree Orc clan.
