Dapplegate

Dapplegate was a large independent town in the Border Kingdoms.

Government

Dapplegate was governed by a council of forty merchants. They held council in the Council Hall, a small keep located next to the Place of Arrows.

Defences

The north bank of the River Scelptar, and the marshes between Dapplegate and the Shining Sea, were populated by Lizardfolk and Mudmaws. Therefore, there was a large demand for hired guards for merchant barges and caravans, and more than six mercenary companies bases were located in the town.

Industry & Trade

Dapplegate was home to a wide variety of crafters. It's location made it a center for import/export businesses, importing trade goods from Calimshan and goods from across the Border Kingdoms were exported from the town's large port district. The Place of Arrows was the large central marketplace of Dapplegate. It was surrounded by a ring of eight ponds, which were themselves surrounded by a waist-high wall and was used by the merchants as water holes for their draft animals.
