Our story before we begin.

Varlot's Town was founded nearly a hundred years ago. A massive orc horde had swept down from the mountains threatening the Realm of High King Varian. The king sent out a thousand Knights of the Stone to slow the horde while the kingdom readied its defenses. The knights left their varlots to hold the supplies and guard the river expecting the orcs to focus on the main roads. An orcish fleet of river boats attack the young squires, out numbering them at five to one. These young warriors fought smart using their wits and daring to defend the river and surrounding farms for seven days. When the knights returned, they dedicated the battle to Bahamut and built a keep and temple, establishing the town so that none would forget the young fighter's bravery.

With large farms to the east, rich timber camps to the north, and mining camps at the origins of the river in the mountains, Varlot's Town has grown into a bustling frontier town. The many peaceful races mingle freely inside the pallisade. Human and halfling artisans work in the markets trading their wares while living in the Commons nearby. A gnomish factory has been built with housing for gnomes and dwarves processing the bountiful mines upriver. The elves established a conclave with fey spirits and guide the townsfolk in harvesting lumber from the forests allowing the town access and helping build a healthier forest. A council of seven oversees the day to day running of the town with a mayor elected to lead them. A veteran watch of twenty protects the town and oversees the protection of caravans. Ever since the town was founded, it has trained adventurers. Trained by the watch, during the summer months young adventurers are used out scouts to explore the deep forests and gather the information to keep the town prepared and safe.
