Talburg

Nestled along the base of Mount Valoria within the center of the White Valley on Aldaria, this small town is a strange place. A city-state within the Assarian Empire, this town is known for its fairly rough and strange folk. Outcasts, deserters, refugees, and other prisoners of war in the wake of many battles come here for safety and freedom. Most within the city walls are considered the 'monstrous' races, but are often mostly just people living their lives behind the safe walls of Talburg, free from the corruption of their former masters.

Demographics

Ranging from outcast Ca'tani, Sangui'tani, Ghev'rani, Ghor'zali and other such monstrous races that one would normally associate with the Dark Gods or Dark Spirits, these are here in abundance under a protected roof.

Government

Lorded by a singular ruling figure at the top of the food chain in power, intimidation, and compassion.

Defences

High walls with catapults lining the edges and a singular old war relic of a powerful arcane ballista at the top of the keep

Industry & Trade

Not much industry happens here, but roaming traders brave enough to come through are a common enough sight.

Infrastructure

Shabby walls and loose aqueducts gather the necessary water and keep the inhabitants free from outside troubles.

Assets

Strength of arms and roaming mercenaries, otherwise not much else.

Guilds and Factions

Many of the Goblins are gathered here under houses in small family groups

History

The settlement was originally founded as a small village of Ca'tani along the base of the mountain who broke free form the corruption of Severa. Eventually more outcasts arrived, and the town grew until they were a vast minority. The mountain itself came from Taldoria in a weapon used to crush a city that used to rest there.

Architecture

Much of the architecture of the town is lazy and ramshackle. Made out of whatever scavenged parts and wood that is able to be used to create what they can.

Geography

Curled around the southern base of Mount Valoria, the city itself curls upwards halfway up the mountain and spreads in a small circle in the long flat plains below that curl slightly downwards in the remnants of a crater.

Natural Resources

Much of the natural resources lie beneath the earth, though mining processes here are...risky and few and in between. As active volcanoes can be tricky to mine nearby.
