Fiddlegreen

Fiddlegreen is a sprawling urban hub built around a massive central plaza. Its architecture is a patchwork of styles from across the continent, reflecting its status as a crossroads. Tall timbered houses lean over narrow alleys, while the main thoroughfares are wide enough for four wagons abreast. It never sleeps, as the midnight markets are just as busy as the midday trade stalls, lit by magical amber globes.

History

Originally a humble coaching inn, Fiddlegreen exploded in size during the Era of Open Borders. It survived three sieges by claiming neutrality and taxing both sides of every conflict. Its wealth is built on the ruins of an ancient elven waypoint. Today, it serves as the primary gateway for all commerce in the central territories, maintaining a fragile peace through economic leverage.

The Silent AgeThe Pact of Three RoadsThree warring merchant lords signed a peace treaty to share the crossroads.

The Gilded CenturyThe Great FireA massive blaze cleared the slums, making room for the stone-walled Inner District.
