Harmony

Harmony was once the breadbasket of the region, famous for its golden wheat and fine pottery. The village thrived by supplying the nearby city of Harrowford. This peace ended when the Ashiell vanguard swept through the plains. While the buildings remain intact, the soul of the town is strained under the heavy tax of supporting an invading army. Many families are divided between those who stay to farm and those who fled to join the resistance.

History

Founded as a collective of halfling farmers, Harmony became a vital trade hub for Shuinia. It remained untouched by conflict for centuries until the Kingdom of Ashiell launched its recent expansion. The town fell quickly due to its lack of defenses, transforming from a peaceful trade partner into a forced military supply depot. Today, it serves as the primary logistical node for the Ashiell forces marching toward the city of Harrowford.

The Golden AgeThe Treaty of HarrowfordHarmony established itself as the primary agricultural trade partner for the regional capital.

The Iron TideThe Siege of Three DaysAshiell forces captured the town after a short but brutal skirmish in the wheat fields.
