589 Spearhome
🕑 Added 2022-06-18 21:09:36 +0000 UTCTraveler! Small farming communities thrive next to important military holds and often grow into full-fledged towns after the worse part of the war fades away with time. A small farming settlement known as Spearhome was born this way. It owes its name to a famous battalion in the last war where all soldiers fought with spears and shields. They were renowned for their abilities with their weapons. The soldiers were stationed in a double-walled fortification named Summer’s End.
Today, the settlement has grown into a small town. After two generations of farmers and herders, the locals are no longer interested in keeping the fortress well-repaired or training for any future war complications, despite the town being a few miles from the kingdom's border. They have grown complacent in their simple but hard-working lives.
This is a level-neutral adventure location where the characters can interact with the locals, do odd jobs to earn the townsfolk's favor, and even convince the duke to allow them to establish a base of operations and settle. Here's a low-def preview of this illustration:
Here's a close-up of Spearhome's settlers outgrowing the space within the city walls. Several farmer families have thrived in the region thanks to the fertile soil and the adjacent forested areas.
Within Spearhome's walls, the grandsons of war heroes now lead calmer lives. The Heroes' Plaza features dozens of statues, effigies, and monuments dedicated to their elders who once defended the land from foreign forces.
