Burnard
"Burnard is the largest town along the Murr Shore. The city used to be very isolated from the rest of the kingdom due to its location. The Murr Shore is a dangerous place and often raided by the tribal orcs that live there. Still, Burnard grew and grew and in recent years it has pulled up a palissade around the town. That, together with a dedicated town watch has been enough to keep the town safe now. But the orcs are multiplying. They're getting stronger..."
D. Harewood, Fendalian Cartographer
History
Burnard is an old town that started out as a fishing village during the reign of the Burbric Empire. Since then it has grown a lot and these days it's one of the main trading hubs along the Murr Shore, only contested by Wyryndam to the north. The days of the fishing village are can still be seen in town. The Fish Market is a square where merchants gather to sell all sorts of wares.
Around the town square are the Town Hall and the Church of Dor, the God of Safety. The people of Burnard believe that Dor protects them against the dangers of the region.
Beyond the walls of the town the orcs are getting more and more dangerous. Behind their walls the people of Burnard have grown soft, and the orcs have started to toughen up. They have expanded their territory closer to the town and their numbers have increased. Already the people of Burnard are afraid to leave the town. Soon they'll be trapped behind the walls they built to protect them.
