Shadowbranch City Hall

Citizens who seek an audience with Shadowbranch’s leaders, or town employees can visit the town’s city hall.
Shadowbranch City Hall is a one-story building with a basement leading to The Below region beneath the town. Rooms within the building include a council chamber where public meetings are held and several offices for town employees.
Designers built Shadowbranch City Hall after the town’s founding. Strong oak and pine were used in the construction of the first building and crews spent days adding a protective coating to reinforce the structure. This City Hall building lasted ten years until a pair of gigantic fire lizards attacked and burned it to the ground.
Mages from Arcania, townspeople and The Below folk helped construct a second building, this one made of stronger wood and magical wards to prevent further environmental damage.
During the day, Shadowbranch citizens are allowed to enter City Hall with local employees and the council when they are in the building for town business.
The City Hall also has a lounging area for council members to relax before and after meetings, or for employees.
Security for the building consists of an on-duty town guard who keeps watch at the door. The guard will also sit with council members and/or the mayor while they’re meeting with citizens.
The mayor’s office is on the basement level where Shadowbranch residents and those from The Below can meet with them.
Outside the building has four trees on the front lawn and four in the back area. There are also three outhouses for employees to use, as well as a tunnel entrance for The Below.
Inside the building is a plaque with a golden grapevine and the names of each council member and mayor engraved on a wooden space below it.
There are several paintings scattered throughout the building. One is a portrait of Axel Shorthammer shaking hands with Car’dal Trven of The Below.
