Secomber
Secomber is a small, peaceful town that acted as the de facto border town between the relatively peaceful Western Heartlands and the more savage North along the Sword Coast.
The town contained a number of colorful gardens.
It sat atop three stone hills on the northern banks of the southern-running Unicorn Run river and the western-running River Delimbiyr. Directly south of the town was the dangerous High Moor. To the north, along the Secomber Trail, was Uluvin.
Secomber is a stop on the Delimbiyr Route, part of the trail between Waterdeep and Llorkh. Another trail, the Secomber Trail, connected Secomber to Uluvin to the north-west.
Farming, fishing, and stone-cutting were the primary occupations, but it also had a number of folk familiar with the High Forest. Some locals hire themselves out as guides or guards for the passing caravans.
The town welcomed and catered to travelers and caravans, especially adventurers who based themselves out of the town as they explored the High Moor and the High Forest.
The Seven-Stringed Harp well known tavern for serving many traveling minstrels and bards, who came from all across west and northwest Faerûn because of its ties to the famous Dream Weaver ballad. This pilgrimage for musicians was so common that a tradition of performing there free of charge developed. But beyond this traveling clientele, the tavern was a popular destination for local townsmen as well as merchants seeking to conduct business.
A small garrison of about 30, provided by the Lords' Alliance, guarded the town, and the local militia boasted over 100 members.
The town is populated primarily by humans, but almost as many halflings called the place home, and some said they dominated the town. A small group of dwarves from the Ironeater clan lived in the area, as well as a few gnomes and moon elves.
