Dalencroft Settlement in Tarien | World Anvil

Dalencroft

The town of Dalencroft itself is technically more of a village, if that. It boasts few buildings and fewer permanent residents. Indeed, if one doesn't count the hundred or so Legionnaires in its population, there are generally more visitors - from trade caravans - than residents in the town.
 
Residents mostly own businesses, working in the service industry. Two Inns - the Inn of the Rusty Sword and Franco's tavern - provide lodging, food, and libations to weary travellers. Beyond that, the town boasts a pair of stables, a tanner, a weaponsmith, clothier, and a cooper - who also doubles a wheelwright.
 
A few farms - both in the village and nearby - supply the inns and residents with basic foods. The outying farms, however, do not extend far from the town itself. Though generally more of danger to crops than people, the fear of stray dinosaurs is too high. Fortunately, the Legionnaires here number just enough to scare them off.
 
For a small village, the inns here run a robust business and are often open well past midnight as merchants and their guards enjoy a respite from the long journey between Geyla and New Solarin. The constant traffic also makes their taprooms a cosmopolitan place. Rumors and information flow freely, particularly that at the Inn of the Rusty Sword, which is rumored to have links to the great Brotherhood of Thieves. It is perhaps for this reason that the locals favor Franco’s, choosing to meet their when conducting town business.
