A quaint little lake village down river from Fairbay, Belmire has a quiet, small-town feel to it. Everyone here knows one another, new travels quickly, and keeping secrets is difficult. Most folks here are either fishermen, hunters, farmers, or help run the town as it is very community oriented. A lot of the residents live just outside of Belmire with plenty of cabins and homes built along the lake and in the surrounding forest. The most exciting thing that happens is the yearly fishing contest that the town is well known for as the lake is amazing when it comes to fishing. This could be part of the reason why gossip seems to be the daily highlight with the residents that live here. There are no Imperial barracks located here, but it's common to see Imperial guards and troops here as they are traveling through the area often enough. With having little to no crime, there has never been a reason for the Imperial guards to be stationed here. The residents are always friendly to the soldiers and guards that travel through here as it means more income for them through lodging, food, drinks, and other items of trade. All visitors are more than welcome here as long as things are kept peaceful, and the laws are followed. If visiting here, make sure to try the lake panfish which only grows in this lake. They are small in size but packed full of flavor. The town does well sell these panfish salted, pickled, raw, and cooked and are considered a local delicacy. The lake which the town is built upon has always had such a wonderful reputation for fishing, swimming and enjoying life on a lake. It's uncommonly deep; the depth of the center of the lake is currently unknown as no one has been able to get to the bottom, yet. As the middle of the lake runs colder in temperature, people enjoy staying closer to the shores where the water is warm, and the lake depth is normal. Of course, all of this was before the rumors started up a few months back. Sometimes, late at night, a strange glow can be seen coming from the center of the lake. Also, there are rumors that the lake marine life is slowly becoming more aggressive and not behaving as normal. This was all blown off as small-town gossip until the boat maker went missing a few weeks back. The only thing recovered was half of his wooden boat. The Imperial guards reassure us that it's nothing to worry about and was merely a boating accident of him hitting rocks under the water. This is not exactly what Belmire's rumors and gossip are saying, but the locals do not want to lose business and so are keeping quiet at the moment.
