Feldberg Settlement in Orrus | World Anvil

Feldberg

Feldberg's claim to fame was a small bush in the center of town which had berries that grew year-round and seemed to have miraculous healing powers.   At one point, Feldberg was governed by Platveld, which is directly to the south east. Due to a dispute between the village and the City and a disaster that happened because of it, Feldberg separated from Platveld to join Amhorsten. Many conflicts in this village and unrest are due to this loyalty split. Each side in the dispute has roving gangs of thugs who attempt through force to "persuade" townsfolk and travelers to their side in the conflict.

History

Two hundred years ago, the village elder of Feldberg petitioned Platveld for a small group of its militia as a group of highwaymen were plaguing the west road. Platveld was going through an internal dispute and refused to send any men.   In the ensuing few days, the highwaymen grew bolder and gathered a bunch of homeless disparates from Platveld and sacked the village and stole the bush that yielded the magic berries. Since then, there has been constant conflict with Platveld.
