Demographics
Tromdar is home to a mix of human and non-human residents. The town is known for its bustling port and trade, and as such, it is a melting pot of different cultures and races.

Government
Tromdar is a feudal town ruled by Lord Harr, a member of a noble family that has held power in the town since the foundation of the barony in 1072. As the lord of the town, Lord Harr has ultimate authority over all aspects of life in Tromdar, including the administration of justice and the management of the town's resources. He is advised by a council of nobles and officials, who help him to govern the town and manage the affairs of the barony. The council is made up of representatives from the various town guilds and communities within Tromdar, and they are responsible for implementing the policies and decisions of Lord Harr.
Defences
Tromdar is protected by a set of town walls made of stones. The walls are punctuated by a number of towers, which offer vantage points for archers and other defenders to keep watch over the town. There are also two fortified entrances to the town, each guarded by a gatehouse with a heavy wooden door and a portcullis.
In addition to the town walls, Tromdar also has a castle, which serves as the home of the baron's family and as a center of government for the town. The castle is a relatively new structure built on the ruins of an ancient one.
The rocky coastline on which the town is built completes Tromdar's defence system.

Natural Resources
The land around Tromdar is quite fertile, but most of the farms are located north of the city, along the banks of the Dorgar.
The spruce forests provide some wood for the intensive activity of the shipyards, but most of it is actually imported from other parts of the region.
