Crimmor
Formerly a friendly competitor and rival of Fairhill, the small village of Crimmor has experienced a sharp decline over the past several years. The fishing village farther east of Fairhill along the banks of Lake Crimmormere welcomes few travelers from the Tradeway, even though it is only six miles south of its outskirts. The only exception applies to wagons in desperate need of repair. In these dire circumstances, the caravan leader may divert from the road and visit Stipish, the town’s resident wheelwright whom many consider to be the finest mechanic in the area. Otherwise, Crimmor has undoubtedly seen better days. The lake, once renowned for its abundant stock of largemouth bass, appears to be utterly depleted of the tasty fish and any other marine life for that matter.
Fortunately, local residents still derive sustenance from the land and can also purchase provisions from the occasional merchant who ventures into town. When these rare visitors stop in Crimmor, Flendon, the leader of the local merchant’s guild, races out to meet them. The haughty gentleman passes himself off as the town’s ruler, though he exercises no true authority within Crimmor. Instead, Wistus and the thieves’ guild control Crimmor through their puppet Flendon. Wistus and his underlings have their hands in every pie within the corrupt town. To keep up the ruse, Wistus kicks back a tiny sliver of his profits to the cowardly and overmatched Flendon. Although crime is pervasive in Crimmor, the guild’s illicit activities may be the least of its problems. The fishermen speak of strange creatures inhabiting Lake Crimmormere. To make matters worse, stirges beset the town every evening. No one knows where either of these menaces dwells or what these creatures seek, yet Wistus and Flendon seem disinterested in getting to the bottom of these mysteries.
