Wallow
Wallow is a small town to the West side of Gert, Malnax - close to the boarder into Tuck region.
Wallow is the type of town people travel through to get somewhere, only stop if necessary. It has no walls as it is more of a threat to itself, from those living within.
The town has ancient burial grounds from a battle known as The Dark War, which is of great importance to the people of Wallow. Demons and Devils came out of Ru'Mal - Wallow is where the people of Malnax took a stand.
Wallow has a poor economy, and a rough culture, which is mainly supported by crafting, thieving and fletching. There are animals such goats and pheasants within pens to the East side of town, next to the Stables. While pigs tend to roam freely. The town folks' biggest strengths are refined carpentry and deadly archers. However, Wallow lacks people skilled in weaponsmithing.
A small temple containing the Peace Bell has been placed beside the Wisteria tree. this bell is rang five times on the 10th day of the month of Sai, for the feast of The Battle Field Angel.
The Clock Tower: A grey brink clock tower is the nicest thing inside this town. Quite decorative and well maintained.
The Gallows Tree: A long-dead dogwood tree, said to be haunted by the ghosts of the thieves and murderers which once hung from it.
The Nephilim Stone - within a shallow cave is a Nephilim encased in amber.
SCOFFLAW AMPHITHEATER
The main attraction is the old amphitheater, which could seat 350 people max (including the nobility box), which was built 127 years ago [323AG] and said to be designed by goblins. Although it is said to be no longer used, it shows signs of recent repair, fresh sand on the central ground, and maintenance.
During the daytime, the few visitors to the area visit, and sometimes teens hang out there.
At night, the amphitheater comes alive as a fighting pit. A place of fighting, betting and much drinking.
START FIGHTS = 30ft apart; 60ft behind each person; 50ft to each side.
OWNER: Schmidt Firebend - a male purple Tiefling - flirtatious, snappy dresser, cheeky, excellent singer - at a quick glance of any coin pursue, he can calculate the silver and gold coin inside (not so good judging copper pieces, or so he says).

THE MAIN STREET
Is shaped as a Y on it's side - the bottom end is heading East. The top of the Y splits to head North-West to the Scofflaw amphitheater. The other top of the Y goes out the main gate to the South-West. The clock tower stands in the centre of the split on the Y . The Roaring Skull Tavern is on the South side. Back along the street, 2 doors, to the East is the Gallows Tree. 3 doors further along, on the other side of the street, is The Silent Nook Book Store.WISTERIA TREE
Just out of town along the road, going South West - then turns to go East, is a magnificent wisteria tree the only most beautiful thing anywhere near Wallow. It was planted [1100AG] to remember those who fell. The road goes the whole way around the beautiful tree. At around 150 years old, the massive tree is stunning when in full bloom. The vertical lilac purple flowers dangle so far down that they nearly touch the ground and create a purplish cloud that hovers above the grass.A small temple containing the Peace Bell has been placed beside the Wisteria tree. this bell is rang five times on the 10th day of the month of Sai, for the feast of The Battle Field Angel.
