Lichfield
Lichfield stands amid rolling plains on the Long Road between Burkeston and Lymnester. The town holds little in the way of wealth, earning nearly all of its income from trade along the road, along with some farming and livestock. But the people of Lichfield are proud folk of old stock, their town the ancestral home of the Aelrich, one of the legendary clans of the Heldring. Most have lived their entire lives in the town or nearby farms. The locals are average craftsmen at best, their only exceptional ability seemingly in animal husbandry.
Visitors rarely stay long in Lichfield, moving on after a few hours or a day at most. There are a few inns in town with comfortable beds, fine fare, and great dwarven ale. But there is little else here to divert a traveler’s attention.
A town militia protects the residents from infrequent raids from the Cumorian Mountains to the west. Twenty armed men patrol the village day and night, banishing non-believers and repelling would-be troublemakers.
