Town - Gladny

Gladny, a town perched on a sloping hillside above the infamous frozen marshlands of Syiv, is a testament to resilience amidst harsh surroundings. The hills, shrouded in a thick tapestry of dense taiga, stretch northwards from Krestok until they succumb to the unyielding grip of the Syiv lowlands, a landscape as unforgiving as it is foreboding.
Life in Gladny is a testament to endurance, where the people eke out a meager existence from the land's scant offerings. Hunting in the shadowy depths of the forest yields precious sustenance, while the gathering of seasonal berries offers a fleeting taste of sweetness amidst the bitter chill. Below the village, fields begrudgingly yield wheat and barley, their yields but a whisper against the wind of scarcity. With no nearby river to quench their thirst, the town relies upon a solitary well, its waters a lifeline in an otherwise hostile landscape.
Yet, adversity has forged a bond of unwavering faith among the townsfolk, a fervent belief that only through devotion to the Divine Flame may they find solace in their struggles. Despite the perennial sting of hunger, they dutifully offer their meager earnings to the church, a bastion of stability in their tumultuous existence. Even the ruling Gospodar, a figure both feared and revered, stands as a paragon of piety, his devotion to the flame unwavering in the face of hardship.
To the wary eyes of the inhabitants, outsiders are harbingers of disruption, unwelcome intruders whose presence threatens to upset the delicate equilibrium of their existence. Suspicion hangs heavy in the air, and it takes but a whisper of dissent to brand one a heretic in the eyes of the devout. In Gladny, faith is not merely a comfort but a lifeline, a beacon of hope in a world cloaked in shadows.
