Veriste is a free village in the Cairn Hills.

Description

Veriste is a free city and is often overlooked by a majority of the Duchy especially as the hallow was located off major trade routes and was in constant threat of war between the various orc, goblin and kobolds clans in the region.

History

Before the Great War, Veriste was a very minor mining village within the domain of the Duchy of Urnst. The defacto leader, Bryn Everblood, created a tenuous peace between the village and humanoids through guile, lies, and psychotropic beer.

Geography

Veriste is located within a hallow in the Cairn Hills, inland from the shores of the Nyr Dyv. There is a shallow river (no more than six feet deep) that runs from the Nyr Dyv to the Aalmarsh swamp, near to which Veriste lies.

People

The people of Veriste come from a variety of backgrounds, be it merchant, miner, farmer, former adventurers, and more often than not, escaping the laws of one kingdom or another and looking to start over.

Government

Every 3 years a customary election is held where Bryn Everblood is re-elected as mayor.

Languages

Common, Halfling, Dwarf, Orc

Resources

The main resources of Veriste are mining, eel fishing, farming, and brewing.

Veriste trades with other local settlements and the various humanoid tribes of orcs, goblins, and kobolds that live in the region.
