Ardwyn

"Of all the places I've traveled, no matter how inspiring or beautiful, I always long for the simple pleasures of Ardwyn. Secure behind its sturdy stone wall, it is truly a haven of peace and happiness... Though a bit dull, it is a model of mortals of all walks of life working together on equal terms... Should the thought of retirement ever cross my mind, this is where I would chose to live out the rest of my days." ~ Perciveous Gorton

Demographics

Ardwyn is home to a diverse variety of races, though Wood Elves and Humans are the majority.

Government

The city is governed by 3 elected council members - Captain of the Guard, Council Trademaster, and the Council Head. The Council Head is the most powerful authority figure, with the authority to finalize any change to the Town Charter and approve any proposal or bill. The Captain of the Guard is responsible for law enforcement, security, and defense of the city while advising the Council Head on matters and documents pertaining to such things. The Trademaster acts in a similar capacity, though their role is to oversee the local economics, enforce trade and craftsmanship standards, as well as deal with real estate dealings within town.

Geography

Ardwyn is placed in the middle of the vast forests of Edresh, however, the town has cleared the area around the town in a 90 foot radius. A subterranian river runs underneath the city and has been converted into a sewer system that empties out into the nearby Lunlac River around 600 feet away from the village.
