Fairbay
Fairway is a simple shore town that is north of Belmire and life here is simple but a little hard as the trading business has been slowly dwindling down over the years with fewer travelers to the area. With a few farms, fishing and the local forest the town tends to be rather self-sufficient but lower with the normal income compared to other towns of its size. The crabbing industry has been competitive with Kilerth and Lerwick so this part of the town has also slowed down over the years. It's not a bad place to live, just on the simple and slow side of life with lower-than-average income.
One place to stop by is the small candy shop that is located here, the person that owns and operates the business almost never takes visitors, but their assistant is always more than happy to talk to shoppers. It is said that the owner spends most of his time inventing new positions, new flavors and always working in his workshop in the back of the store. They have a good reputation for giving out free candy to the children during holidays, providing free healing potions for those that have been injured and can't afford healing. This person has been approached many times before by the Imperial Trade Commission about signing a contract to deliver candy to Talsworth, even with the offer of a larger building with employees but the offers are always turned down for some reason.
The town was originally built here due to the discovery of an ancient druid rockhenge that was here long before the first settlers arrived at this area. Plenty of people have speculated that it is some sort of calendar to maybe keep track of the seasons and when to plant crops. Others have said it's some unknown way of keeping track of the moons and stars in the night sky. Even a few rumors of the rocks being markers as something very large was buried here as it sits on top of the only hill in an otherwise flat area. In order to help preserve the stone formation the town now has a historical preservation guild where any and all research at the site must be pre-approved beforehand.
There are some recent rumors of seeing higher than usual activity of Northern Tribes ships traveling back and forth between the mainland and their kingdom. With more than a few Imperial Navy ships also being seen patrolling the north shores but the Imperial officials have stated there is nothing to worry about and just merely Naval patrol exercises going on. Of course, if you stop by the local tavern, you will hear more than a few strange rumors going on among the fishermen about some incredibly large creature that is now roaming just offshore. Only a handful of drunken sailors have ever reported seeing such a thing, but the rumors also speak of something being awoken within the last several months, something of great evil and incredible size.
