Frantwr

Frantwr sits on the edge of Ithfaen Peaks, bordering the grasslands of Grenedwr Fields. To the west of the town runs a stretch of deciduous forest that many people believe is haunted, and to the south is a small river that begins in the city. Four watchtowers to the north, east, south, and east encircle Frantwr, connected by a wall that has crumbled away in areas that were poorly built or broken by monsters from the woods.
A large portion of Frantwr to the south is made of farms that produce gourds, wheat, fresh apples, cider, and raspberries. However, the main commerce of Frantwr is the tourism that it receives during Feyhallow. Because of this, the town has many taverns, inns, and stores, and holds parades on Feyhallow nights.
The town began as a travelling outpost that eventually grew a larger population. Unlike most neighbouring settlements, Frantwr remains separate from Arfordolia and isn't a part of any faction. As a precautionary measure, the mayor Eadwell Beorhsige has outlawed the use of most magic and is willing to hire adventurers to protected the town from various spirits and magical creatures.
