Marshklake

Marshlake is a large village about a day's ride from Korth, near the edges of the Nightwood. Beyond typical agrarian economics, the town is the home of a printing business run by a band of gnomes who are loosely connected to House Sivis.
The village has a largely human and gnome population, with small numbers of other races.
The village is managed by a mayor who is elected by the landowners in the town. The mayor is Lady Emma ir'Montag.

The town is border on the east by a river and then the Night wood. A channel from the river has been cut that provides water power for the mill.

Recent Events

The town was recently visited by a young woman who appeared to be traveling on her own. This woman was the lifewright, and in passing she animated and awakened a lot of animals and objects in the town -- most notably the main printing press in the House Sivis print shop.
After awakening the press, the Lifewright disappeared from town. She left behind a town filled with animated objects and some awakened animals, ruled by the Allpress. The city guards have been imprisoned in their own armor -- which is now animated -- and are unable to protect the people of the village. Many have died, more fled, and a small portion of the population continues to live in the town, forced to go through a sort of mockery of life by the animated objects they used to use, and the livestock and work animals that they used to take for granted.
