Fallwind

Fallwind is a city that exists within the Shire of Gallowsbrook. Close to the Grimwald Quarry Pits, the buildings in Fallwind have been primarily constructed from granite over the course of it's fifteen hundred year history, though for the first 300 years much of Fallwind was constructed in the branches of the gigantic maple trees that are a signature feature of the forest that surrounds the town. A sizeable city of about 1200 souls, Fallwind features a rich diversity of races that, for the most part, live in relative harmony. Fallwind is located on the boarder of what is known as "The Veil" a magical protective membrane that the Elven kingdom of Faelynn is enshrouded in.

Demographics

Humans, gnomes, halflings, orcs, half-orcs, goblins, ratkin. Fallwind primarily consists of a human population, with halflings being the second most populous. There is a significant portion of gnomes and goblins however with the odd orc, half-orc, and ratkin segment rounding out Fallwind's demographics. For the most part Fallwind is an industry town. It sports a decent mining and logging industry what with being located in the foothills of the mountain range. There is a small representation of craftsmen and artisans who specialize in blacksmithing, glassblowing, silver, and goldsmiths. Because of the Moongrove Librarium Fallwind does attract scholars and arcane practitioners from afar who are hoping to glean some secret knowledge from some of the elven texts left behind after The Phasing.

Government

Fallwind is officially governed by the municipal Magistrate, currently Magistrate Borlock who presides over the entire Shire of Gallowsbrook. In truth, however, the town is mostly run by a loose grouping of elected council members who live within the city. Currently there are 5.

History

Fallwind was once a bustling smaller city that was a trade hub between the Empire of Faelynn and the mortal realms and kingdoms. Having reached a height of nearly 9000 people at that time, when The Phasing took place all of the trade ties with Faelynn abruptly ended due to the barrier of The Veil and the once mighty city has now shrunk in population to its current 1200 inhabitants. As a result of this dramatic change in commerce and population, the outskirts of the village is ringed by the stone ruins and abandoned buildings of a once mighty city.

Points of Interest Key features of the town are the Sparrow's Observatory run by an eclectic, slightly mad Thavian Thimble; the Moongrove Librariam currated by the Widow Lillith Tweedswillow; and the Fallwind Market.
