Murkside
the swampish town of Murkside resides within the Brakenmire. Travellers from across the continent frequent through here, for it stands between at the intercept of 3 regions. its wooden buildings built upon stilts rising out of the mirky waters below that house many crocodiles that have taken many a careless swimmer or fisherman.
The town was originally affiliated with the Warlord _____, however, had recently changed allegiance in favour of the ever encroaching Lorian Empire. The true reason for this switch has been questioned. The mayor of Murkside has preached it was "to ensure genuine and professional security for the ever-thriving town"...but the sudden acquisition of a large amount of wealth by the mayor has seeded rumours of bribery.
this act of renege did not bode well with the warlord, and it wasn't long before a retribution was enacted by the warlord and his gang; a savage attack on the town that saw soldier and commoner slaughtered alike. The town is now at the ransom of the warlord, who is using it to drive the Lorian empire out of the south by staking them out within the inhospitable Brakenmire.
