Byrn
The small town of Byrn embodies Waymarch’s pastoral lifestyle. Sheep are the town’s lifeblood as its industrious residents rely on the beasts to produce some of the finest cheese and wool products in the entire region. Indeed, the town’s residents never sell their flocks nor slaughter their animals for personal consumption because a living sheep reaps a far greater return on their investment than a butchered one. Lord Faragast Bronwasser, the town’s ruler, leads a cavalry corps of 15 dedicated and experienced riders to safeguard the settlement’s livestock from thieves and poachers as well as defend the community against attacks from humanoid marauders descending from the nearby hills and mountains. While the people of Byrn are generally kind and friendly, their warm hearts instantly freeze for rustlers and aggressive humanoids. The lord personally amputates the transgressor’s fingers, toes, and tongue with an intentionally dull blade for a first offense. Those foolish enough to attempt a second offense forfeit their wretched lives after several days of horrifically painful torture. However, Byrn’s residents most fear a creature of legend who supposedly inhabits the prairie. The horsemen refer to the monstrosity as “The Two-Faced Man.” No one has seen the creature for more than a generation, though most people blame every disappearance on the fabled abomination.
