Excerpt from "In a Far Off land";
The bard group had stopped at a small hill. The teens looked over and saw the city of Perriot. A lake went through the city that continued for as long as the eye could see. Perriot was surrounded by forrest, but it seemed thinner then any forest they had encountered in Wold yet. Perriot’s walls were wooden, but thick. Guards were seen patrolling the walls. They wore armor that looked to be made of steel, but in between the separate pieces, a dark blue laid. In the city itself, it was covered with buildings that looked to be either houses, or stores. The houses were made of wood too, although each being a different design.

History
Perriot was settled during the late North Eastern expansion of Roscrea, and is the newest kingdom within the empire. The settlers settled along a river, with the rich, Blackwoods forest to the north, and the fertile land towards the south, it was an ideal location to create a town. The creation of the town went as scheduled, until contact was made with the natives of the area, the Skeld. One night, after the settlers had spent an entire day gathering lumber, the Skeld snuck into the settlers camp, and attacked their camp. Many were lost, but the settlers were able to drive the Skeld back. The settlers then burned the Skeld camp into the ground. After the fight, the Skeld were no longer a problem for the settlers, and the city was able to be built in peace. The community quickly grew to over seven thousand strong. The city was soon given permission to supply its own garrison. On the Troll Hill's, the Green Dragon legion was formed, and protected the city. During Vonecca's search for their relic, Vonneca sent one of their servants, Zeevicus, to rally the long forgotten Skeld, and attack Perriot. After sabotaging the barracks and water mill of Perriot, along with an attempt to assassinate a royal servant, Zeevicus rallied the Skeld to attack Perriot. The attack ended in failure, after the death of Gaud, and Zeevicus, and their village was burned to the ground once more, and the Skeld would never return. Perriot would recover after the attack, and come out of the battle perhaps even better than before.
