Faren's Rest

Faren’s Rest is a roadside village that grew up along a major trading route. Once, it was just an inn and tavern. Over time, it became an important waystation: a stable and a small hamlet grew up around the inn. A few generations ago, a local baron (Faren) got the bright idea to put a tax collector at the waystation. He quickly abused the tax, building a house across from the inn to keep an eye on things—along with a statue of himself as a heroic warrior. Eventually one of the baron’s many enemies did him in, and Faren’s Rest became independent once again.
