The Crossroads

The Crossroads is a free nation founded by members of the hunter's and adventurer's guilds as a place for free trade away from the Sylvian Imperium and the Clockwork Empire's ideals. This city is the hub for the now joint Hunters and Adventurer's guilds.
The culture of the Crossroads is unlike the stuffy isolationist ideals of the elves and the ridged power structures of the Empire. Rather the Crossroads is a city of free thinking and action. As such the culture here is rapidly evolving and is one of the few places where half-elves can find themselves at peace.
Those visiting the crossroads can find themselves at home in any number of bars and even the occasional casino where they can partake in a unique form of music developed by the half elven races called ragmatag.
