The Town of Hampstead

The Town of Hampstead is a growing small town with a booming timber and fur industry nestled at the edge of a great forest known as Dwain's Forest. Until recent years it was a peaceful place out of the way where nothing happened.Wracked by a Cult known as the Cult of Smiles in 355 A.O.S, A group of Adventurers along with the Towns own Sheriff Jim helped stomp out the evildoers and return peace to the town. Unfortunately several key officials were lost during the events, and the town is trying to peace itself back together in the aftermath of a fire set by the Cultists.
Nearly a year after the Attacks by the Cult of Smiles Hampstead has managed to recover most of what it had lost with the aid of a Merchant and new mayor by the Name of Claude Stim, a ambitious young man intent on growing the town he is now charged with. The Cult is not completely eradicated tho and often crime and happenings are attributed to the members who remain hidden and at large.
The Town hall has been reconstructed as well as The Night Club formerly known as Octavian's that once served as a cultist base of operations but has been turned into a Orphanage and Shelter for those impacted by the attacks.
