Final Light
The walled town of Final Light is the final destination many travelers visit before the dangerous plunge into the Pines. Called Fool's End by some, the town is the final resting place for many who perished in the Pines and were recovered by the townspeople to be buried. Home to a large collection of orcs and goblins, the town is one of the earliest settlements in the region.
Demographics
Final Light is dominantly monstrous with a small population of humans and half-humans, with humans being treated as little more than outsiders by the monsters.
Government
Final Light is a tribal town governed by the Orc chieftan Hondor Grimhyat. Laws of the town are simple: do not take more than you need and do not hurt your fellow townspeople. Due to the towns close, almost familial, bond the people are not required to pay taxes, instead opting to pay the town directly with their goods, hunts, or labor.
Defences
Final Light is constantly protected by the people of the town, numbering 300 men. This armed force keeps trouble away from the forest, pushing any enemy into the Pines. However, the town additionally has a large stone wall surrounding the town, constantly patrolled by 10 of the strongest men in the town.
Infrastructure
Final Light is a simple town, nothing more than shops, homes, and a single tavern. Due to its low quality and quantity of services, many outsiders leave soon after arriving.
Assets
Final Light is a simple town that works alone, separate from the other nearby settlements of Tombstone and Legunica. Due to their solitary and reserved nature, the people of Final Light offer little in shopping, only the bare minimum can be found being sold.
History
Final Light was founded somewhere in the 200s by a small tribe of Orcs and Goblins. These early inhabitants were primitive versions of the modern day Orc or Goblin, only having a small language and surviving off of nothing but wit, strength, and luck. As the Orcs and Goblins began to advance, they settled down in a small tribe between the Pines and the Desert of the Dead. The settlement was named Final Light as it was the final place where the harsh light of the desert could be seen before dark and cold Pines. As the settlement aged, so did the people, and Final Light began to spread out into the Pines, splintering into pockets of settlement. One of these settlements eventually came upon the explorers from Kojark, and taught them how to survive in the harsh wilderness. After this, the newly formed Hamis sent an envoy to Final Light where they taught the now hefty settlement of modern technology.
Geography
Final Light sits on a small plane between the Pines and the Desert of the Dead. A stream runs only a mile into the Pines, which is where the town collects water twice a month.
