The Ranger's Gate

The Ranger's Gate - Second Age oil on canvas, artist unknown, displayed at Treadway Manor

You are in the City-State of Teufeldorf. It is March 1, 908 TA. The Second War of the Reaches ended three months ago. A treaty signed between the Crown and the Old Kingdom returned the city to King Fleetwood's control on the New Year. With calls for his removal now a distant memory, the King's focus is turned towards walls and ramparts - Teufeldorf Castle is undergoing extensive repairs. With the exception of a modest town guard, the army has been disbanded allowing soldiers to return to their homes, families and livelihoods. What is left of the town guard are war-weary veterans back after nine years of fighting and now doing their best to quell any major problems but letting the citizenry sort out the small stuff.

After occupation by the enemy for the past eighteen months, the city's economy is in shambles. Merchants are scrambling to come out of hiding and rebuild their trade. Supplies are low and prices are high. The Family is ramping up business amidst the chaos. For the enterprising merchant, this is a time of great promise. While the wealthy still live in their mansions by the sea, the citizens, crippled by war-time taxes, are seeking normalcy and prosperity. The churches of Teufeldorf are full once again. Likewise, the pubs are doing a rousing business. It is a grim time, but also a time for hope. There are no threats to the peace. At least, none that are commonly known.
