Pfefferain
Known to its citizens as the “Crown of the Lorremach,” the hill-walled town of Pfefferain is part of the Kingdom of Suilley but has a charter that allows it to govern itself rather than being ruled by a local lord. A justicator (essentially a magistrate) from the king’s court in Manas supervises the town’s court of law and serves as the voice of the king’s authority if needed, but the royal court does not interfere with any matters other than law and taxation. Pfefferain is left to itself on all local matters.
In this generally inhospitable region, Pfefferain benefits from its position in the middle of a large plot of fertile savannah territory near a spring-fed stream. The tillable land nearby supports corn, wheat, flax, soybeans, vegetables, and fruit trees, and grasslands supply grazing for herds of cattle, pigs, sheep, and horses. However, its main trade product is processed opium from the poppies that grow wild in the surrounding highlands. The town itself does not manufacture the opium; this is done, for the most part, by the hillfolk who gather or grow the poppies then bring the paste to the town to sell.
The town is extremely friendly to users of magic and is home to the “Revered Sorcerers and Wizards Guild of Pfefferain.”
