Triboar

The bustling mercantile town of Triboar stands where the Long Road meets the Evermoor Way, known as a lively crossroads town full of the hustle and bustle of roaming merchants, caravanners and other travellers. Triboar has a well-known rivalry with the neighbouring city of Yartar, and while the nature of this conflict is usually friendly, it has spilled over into violence on numerous occasions.
It's said that the lesser god of rangers, Gwaeron Windstrom, was laid to rest in Triboar. The gravesite, a copse of trees just west of the town, is frequently visited by worshipers of Windstrom or his divine mistress, Mielikki. Triboar's nature as a crossroads town means religion tends to come and go, and as such there are no shrines to speak of in the town itself, though many residents keep personal tokens of their worship.

Demographics

Nearly half of Triboar's population lives outside the town proper, on sprawling ranches and neighbouring farmsteads, most of which lie to the north or east.

Government

Triboar is ruled by a democratically-elected lord protector. Their task is to command the town's militia and to settle disputes. The town's legal system is known as the "Lord's Decrees" and the lord protector has the power to amend this system at will. The current Lord Protector is an ex-adventurer named Darathra Shendrel, known among the townsfolk as a fair and clear-headed leader.

Defences

The regular militia takes turns serving in the Twelve, a mounted police force that patrols the town, the roads that lead between the outlying ranches, and the eastern half of the Triboar Trail. If needed, the town can also muster a well-armed militia of fifty in the night, and three hundred by highsun the next day. The lord protector also has the authority to draft mercenaries and adventurers, as needed.

Industry & Trade

Triboar is a market for the horses raised by nearby ranches. Blacksmiths, harness-makers, and wagonworks also flourish in town. In addition, a number of guides operate out of Triboar. They take merchants and other travelers all over the Sword Coast, typically for stiff fees.
