Slusk Settlement in Nailara | World Anvil

Slusk

Slusk is a sleepy town in northwestern Lenif, primarily occupied by farmers and the local craftspeople that support the town. While small, it still boasts a few amenities beyond what most villages and hamlets around it have - most notably the churchhouse, dedicated to the goddess Wytris. A small, simple fountain at the center of the town is a point of pride, and acts as a gathering point for local festivities. The Roebuck Tavern & Inn is situated nearby, supplying drinks and a few rooms available for travelers.

Demographics

The people of Slusk are predominantly human of Leinish and Bocraean descent, with a sizeable number of halflings as well. Most people in town are not terribly wealthy, but thanks to the generosity of the church and its devout members, few have to worry about having food on their tables.

History

There are a few notable individuals among the community, largely those that are closest to the town's center. A generally friendly and boisterous man named Hossein Reik owns the Roebuck Tavern & Inn, which acts as the town's most recreational place. Sister Marta and her daughter Bee act as the church house's full time clergy, along with a handful of part time volunteers. An orcish man named Varguk acts as the towns blacksmith - as well as the object of affection of numerous eligible bachelorettes (and bachelors) in town, though he does not seem to act on this fact.   The town's mayor, Ingrid Masoud, had been elected in 3966 EC, but was brutally killed in 3968 EC - the victim of some kind of magic. Many townsfolk blamed local mage Baran Mani (also known as 'Old Man Baran') for the death, while another group went on to investigate this mysterious death.
