Lakevale

First and orginially intended as a military outpost against the rising threat of the Eventide Imperium , it grew into the forward command base during the worst parts of the war, and was slowly formed into a small settlement towards the end of the first war.
When the Eventide were pushed back, Lakevale quickly became a safe and secure town for Lislowans Lislanders and it grew into a prosperous town due to its easily tradeable location at the epicenter of Lislow's rivers, and its leadership of the Free Peoples.
Years later it stands as the Gem of the Free Peoples and home to all Lislowans without allegiance to other factions, as long as no trouble is caused within its borders.

Demographics

Unlike most other Factions, the Free Peoples evolution and mutation was less extreme and retain a majority Lislowan, but has small communities of Tetraite and Fulhumites

Government

Ruling with an iron fist and constantly threatening heavy punishment, Baron Eagleheart III took command of the city after his father's passing and remains the final and sole important desicion maker of the city, but allows his private militia the Baron's Hands and his Guild, the Daggur's to control most of the city's daily and underground workings.

Defences

The city is heavily fortified with stone walls and guard towers around the main city's edge and both the city and the surrounding farmlands on the Shamrock Plains are patroled by the Baron's Hands

Industry & Trade

Lakevale remains the largest tradepoint outside the Tetraite and Sun'seir markets with large exportations of fish and grains. While not known for having a particular or specific robust industry, they import a great amount of goods and Adventurer skills.

Infrastructure

Lakevale is surrounded by a circler high wall stretching from the Never-Forest to the Shamrock Plains. The city itself is filled with market places, residential neighberhoods, and tradefronts. There is no lacking of large catherdrals to the numerous Beings of Power filling the skyline and the Grand Theater is hard to miss.

With gates directly connecting to most of the trade routes, it is the largest part of the city with it's open market around the lake and numerous large warehouses.

History

Starting as several small settlements of Lislanders built from the rubble of old Munrai and Fullhumine Empires. Many groups of Free Peoples banded together in the aftermath of The Eventide War to form some sort of defense against their much better equipped and economically thriving neighbors on all sides.
While the beginning were quite rocky, an unknown family known as the Eaglehearts began pulling their small town of Lakevale out of the mud and drawing in many of the other Lislanderss, fleeing the wars and needing sactuary. It wasn’t long before they began to prosper and trade with the other settlements, and with the increase of people they slowly spread along the river creating two more towns, Bojourn North and South, or more commonly known as, The Twin Cities.
