Morborg
Morborg is the third-largest city in the Buntesveldt and the primary settlement of the lands inland from the coast (at least until one reaches Stavropol far to the northeast). It boasts high, thick walls as it has had to fend off assaults by its nomadic cousins from time to time.
Unlike the other cities of the Buntesveldt, Morborg is ruled by a council of local wealthy landowners known as boyars who together are known as the oligarchs. They elect another person to be the town burgher, who administers the city and is granted full membership and rights as an oligarch. The current burgher is Tarl Redsson, a grandson of immigrants who came from the Northlands, who owns several taverns and warehouses in the city. Before being appointed as burgher, Redsson was a captain in the city guard, where he developed a reputation as an excellent pugilist, deadly with a sword.
A small woodland of oak and pine once stood outside of Morborg, one of the only forests of these otherwise grass-covered plains. Unfortunately, it was logged until almost no trees are now left standing. As with the rest of the region, wood now must be imported to Morborg.
Morborg is famous throughout the Buntesveldt for its dark beers, and in particular Darkdale Bogwheat Ale, which is named for a boggy lowland area east of the city.
