• Ensuring the dark cutter is safe and can keep doing it job, a job that required a full array of adventures, willing to risk scavengin for part to ensure it can't be repaired/keep together, after the frequent attacts or breakdowns.

History

The city was founded, after the war and it was essentially an colonization effort. As it was a known fact, those who leaves in cities in this area have relation with several non-human, settlement inside the forest and were afraid or unwilling of breaking their rules. So they could not be trusted. The city has been just barely getting by, until a few decades ago, when the young lord decided to use a different approach of heavy numenera usage to ensure making a good (and defensive) dent in the forest.
Since then, they have been under contant siege of diferent tribes living inside the forest, specially culovas which are not willing to allow any royals to interfere with their lands.
