Trobridge Inn
Trade outpost and hangout for outlaws.
A fortified and well-garrisoned Inn owned and operated by the Mercantylers’ Guild at a bridge crossing over the Farin River. Terlin Wesindana operates the Inn, a traditional Salt Route caravans layover.
Kurson Ondailis, Terlin Wesindana, and the representatives of the Sheriff of Semethshire are engaged in an ongoing power struggle over who has the true power in the settlement.
The village is a rendezvous for outlaws and riffraff from all over Hârn. Elven merchants from the Kingdom of Evael sometimes come to Trobridge to trade, and in spring, the fields surrounding Trobridge host the entire Chelni tribal nation with their great annual gather. The Chelni could destroy the Inn at any time but prefer to use it as a trading post where civilized goods can be obtained. However, they view the growing Kaldorian presence with suspicion.

A highly successful temple, the Maaels are often out preaching among the Chelni and have succeeded in covering at least 20% of them to this new religion.
The Severed Hand Tavern
The tavern will accept no overnight guests unless Trobridge Inn is fully occupied.
The settlement also contains a Hideworker, Clothier, Physician, Tentmaker, Woodcrafter, Brothel, Apothecary, Miller, and Smithy.
Timber Wright
Faram Milwork has become wealthy by supplying wood for the bridge, toll house, and new building in the settlement. The nature loving Chelni are starting to look at him with suspicion.
Physician
Hadael Kardy, is a remarkably skilled Physician from Melderyn. Some say he dabbles in magic.
History
The settlement was originally named name Tollbridge, dating back to Lothrim the Foulspawner's, who had the original bridge constructed. It was renamed Troll’s Bridge, as legends say after Lothrim's demise a troll stalked travelers on the bridge. It lived in a hidden cave system nearby. Some say this cave system hides many dark magical secrets and is best avoided.
646TR - The Inn was built by the Mercantylers’ Guild and operated by a master innkeeper who splits his profits with the Mercantylers’ Guild.
696TR - Branger Ondailis, a Bandit Lord, "captures" Trobridge. He rules for 17 years before being murdered by his wife and son. His son Kurson seizes power.
721TR - Kurson Ondailis offers the Kingdom of Kaldor his fief in return for a Knighthood and concessions.
722TR - The Kingdom of Kaldor, to better provide additional security for merchants along the Salt Route, makes Kurson a knight and settlement officially become part of Kaldor. The Chelni Barbarians find this amusing.
