Silverymoon
Home to the newest in potions, brews and recipes. This town is full of alchemists trying their hand at the craft of brewing and mixing. Not all are to be trusted or fondled with, as most potions here are still in testing phases. The largest brewing city this side of the Thunder River, folks come from near and far to get their hands on the newest mixed drink. This import and export of un-natural goods has caused many bandits to rise up and cash in on lightly guarded cargo. Silverymoon in recent years has become a tough place to make a living, but change in on the horizon...at least that's what Mayor Cervantes Morgan thinks.

Government
Ran by a single mayor, Mayor Cervantes Morgan and counseled by a table of 17. He is the declaring word of the city, the council meets on a subject matter, votes it law or no law and Mayor Cervantes Morgan declares it so. The city has a harsh tax rate at years end at nearly 35% earnings, causing most to struggle and resort to leaving or becoming bandits.

History
Founded in 140 T.S., Silverymoon was not always a potion city. In its early days the town was known locally to have rich soil. Anything that was planted would grow rapidly and show great results with whatever you were trying to bloom. This caused a great interest to farmers, but as time progressed, around 275 T.S. a wondering wizard discovered the soil of Silverymoon and began to tinker. Now the town has become a breeding ground for new plants, new soil tests and now...potions. For the last 200 years Silverymoon has been dubbed the name "Brew City"
