Orhedge

Orhedge is a simple town in unusually pleasant, serene surroundings. Attacks from the wilderness are so few and far between that the only defence the town has adopted is a palisade wall - an eight foot wall made of vertically stacked logs, sharpened to a point. The town is able to provide most basic needs of the public by itself, including a balanced diet, ample housing, entertainment, and adventuring gear. Orhedge has two surrounding farms and welcomes trade from neighbouring villages.

The town is officially run by a Council, who help to govern the town and command the guards and militia, but the real power lays in the hands of a select few aristocrats. A number of these nobles are on the council itself to ensure decisions that would be detrimental to the richest members of society do not get passed. Despite the obvious, public corruption of the elected council, the nobles ensure even the poorest of the town have somewhere to live, and food to eat, and general public contentedness is high.
