Undarin
Undarin
A small tradepost in North-West Sarkoris, it served as a major supply crossroad for the Crusades against the Worldwound, supplies from the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, Dyinglight, and Gundrun cross through this convenient intersection. Undarin sits in the shadows of the God's Rise, and is close to the Great Sarkoris Plateau, at a fork in the western river.The Families of the Crossroads
The families that run the respectably sized tradepost of Undarin are mostly made of 4 large family groups which run the Inn as well as the General Store and a few small local farms. The despite the number of 'families' being fairly few, they are surprisingly diverse, with a number of mixed ancestry family members, having a propensity to leverage their position as a crossroad to supplement their bloodlines. The families of this town do hide a major secret, they are all descendants of the original inhabitants of Sarkoris that were associated with the Temples and Watchtowers that lined the God's Rise, and they've spent their time since the Worldwound opened protecting the God's Rise generation to generation. Signus: The Signus Family is run by Marcus 'Old Man' Signus a 70 year old human with signs of some Goliath blood in his still muscular if somewhat age-bowed frame. The Signus family help run the farm and hunt/gather to keep Undarin supplied between caravans, which have been rarer after the Last Crusade and the closure of the Worldwound. Many of his family also maintain periodic watch from the towers atop the God's Rise. Aelsor: Meredith Aelsor is the matron of the Traveler's Respite Tavern/Inn in Undarin, a graying middle-aged human, and one of the main public faces of the town, chatting up those passing through, and keeping them well feed and distracted, often to minimize interest in the God's Rise. Her family focuses on serving passing through caravans, and her eldest son Arnath Aelsor acts as wainwright and blacksmith for Undarin. Forsia: River Forsia, her half-elven heritage belying her age, is the current head of the Forsia family, and runs the trade post's General Store. Many of her family serve in the Temples of Erastil on top of the God's Rise. Golsrinor: Gaira Golsrinor is the head of the Golsrinor family. Still fairly young relative to the others family heads, only in his mid-thirties, Gaira is particularly gifted by Seranrae, who's temple the Golsrinor family runs. Elder members of the family have stepped aside to allow Gaira to lead, due to his gifted status.Demographics
Mostly human, with a surprisingly diverse mix of other partial ancestries (half-elf, goliath, half-dwarf, etc). The town actively fights any possible in-breeding problems by being very 'welcoming' to outside Crusaders and other travelers over the years. Occasionally picking up new permanent or semi-permanent family members in this way.
Government
What passes for a government in this small tradepost is a council of the heads of the four main families of Undarin.
