Description

Stillwater is a village in the Duchy of Urnst. [1]

History

Stillwater, a struggling village on the brink of collapse, underwent a remarkable transformation three years ago after a sudden crisis. When the mayor died of a heart attack upon learning that Duke Karll Lorinar would pass through, the inexperienced accounting clerk, Sharynne, was thrust into leadership. With help from an exiled merchant, Jeannine, and a gnome farmer, Gibbernick, she quickly organized a grand, deceptive welcome for the Duke. Villagers cleaned the streets, repaired buildings, and decorated homes with wildflowers. Sharynne also improvised a “Red Guard” militia and appointed Jeannine and Gibbernick as councilors.

The Duke’s brief visit and praise boosted the villagers' morale and self-worth. Inspired, they worked together to improve their community, forming cooperatives and transforming their militia into a respected force. Within six months, Stillwater turned its fabricated charm into a genuine success, entering a period of prosperity through collective effort and determination.

Due to the power conflict between Mayor Sharynne and Lord Breckenridge, the inexperience mayor made a poor decision in accepting bribes from slavers from Iuz which resulted in her being turned to a vampire. Lord Brecenridge has since taken over. [2]
