Bitterville
Bitterville is a small but well-fortified settlement situated near the northwestern border of Tellum County. Originally built as a farming colony, their proximity to both Infinite Grave and Wildwood Boneyard led them to focus on territorial defense over production. In addition to guardsmen, weapons, and monster parts, Bitterville is admired for its unique architecture and style. In contrast to the rest of Tellum County, they favor pointed arches, stained-glass windows, flying buttresses, ribbed vaults, spires on buildings, and a dark, muted color palette in their fashion. Despite its association with the difficult and depressive lives of many from Bitterville, these buildings were originally developed to bring more natural light to interiors, especially churches and other public buildings.
The Bitter Brotherhood are the protectors stationed on the walls surrounding Infinite Grave, and are a pivotal force in keeping nightmares and monsters from overrunning the peaceful lands of Tellum. Members are expected to serve for life once their pledge is sworn, in return for a lifetime of preferential treatment from the people they serve and protect. Bitter Brothers are equipped with sanctified weapons from The Church of the Divine Monarchy, technology and machinery from Ortemha, and frequent support from The Cheerful Wardens as a regular part of their patrol route.
