Alosbar
Demographics
100% Gnome (forest).
Government
The village is an offshoot of The Mothertree and as such many of its citizens are active members of Melora's Conclave. It is governed by an Autumnreaver named Glim Stumbleduck, who commutates with The Master of the Wild for business outside of the mundane affairs of village life.
Defences
The Guard. The village contains a small force of approximately 300 militarised members of Melora's Conclave, al of either Springwarden or Summerstrider rank.
Palisade. The Town is surrounded by a wooden palisade. It is manned by 24/7 by regular patrols. A trench has also been dug around the front of the palisade, making breaching it more difficult. The only entrance into the village as a result is a pair of wooden gates on its south-western edge.
Boulder Traps. The surrounding trees have large boulders suspended within them, which can be dropped on any would-be attackers. They are controlled by a series of colour-coded ropes which hang from branch over the palisade and simply need to be pulled to be activated.
Infrastructure
The Bonnie Boulder. The local Tavern in Alosbar, located on the west side of town on top of a two story boulder. While there are few travellers who do visit the town, the establishment does boast two room in preparation for such an even, or for locals who do not wish to stagger back home. It is owned and run by the gnome Breena Stumbleblock.
Sticks 'n' Stones. A tall, first story general store which the local populous use as a commercial hub. Locals who produce wares sell them to the owner, a gnome named Orryn Doublelock, who then puts them on sale in one convenient place for citizens of the village.
The Beguiling Grove. A quiet, man-made grove located on the outskirts of the town on its northern edge. It functions as a shrine to Melora, the Wildmother and is popular with citizens who wish to attend organised services, pray, or simply walk in among its beautiful flowers. It is overseen by the gnome priest Ellywick Shrubtender.
Guilds and Factions
The Wild Riders. The riders have historically contested Melora's Conclave for control over The Heartland Forest and, due to its location in the south of the forest and away for direct intervention from The Mothertree, Alosbar has experienced multiple attacks in the past. These days, whilst the attacks still occur, the town is well prepared for them.
History
Alosbar was founded some number of years after Melora's Conclave settled at The Mothertree. The secondary settlement was founded in order to provide a traditional home for some of the gnomish members of the conclave as well as other gnomes from further afield. These days, the settlement acts as the conclave's presence in the south of the forest and its most direct link to the towns outside of the forest's boarders, such as Shaw.
