Castle in Meldale, Dank Forest, Southern Hemisphere

The castle isn’t used much, a token force is usually here. Mostly to keep squatters from moving in.

The military are armed and trained, and they do patrol the town.

Bad times are still remembered. It is just that Meldale isn’t very prepared for troubles.

The forces vary from year to year. Sometimes month to month.

Leutenant, 5th level fighter 25 soldiers. 2 serjeants of fighter 3rd level 15 long bowmen and 10 infantry

the other group that has been stationed here is:

Serjeant 4th level fighter 15 soldiers; 10 long bowmen and 5 infantry. this group has better training and is usually more alert and does a better job.

There are between 10 and 25 servants who cook and clean.

Some odd street names ? Yes. Why are they named Control Road, Winder Street, and Clock Road ? Because in Ancient Times, they were part of a clock. The remains are buried around 20 feet down. Clock Road covers notches cut in rock, the path for a gear… The people who lived here long ago maintained the clock.

Sometimes a person traveling through the area will dream of a giant clock ‘tick tock tick tock’. Any mention of that to a local will get a shrug and then the traveler is ignored.

Do locals dream of Giant Clocks ? Yes, but they put it to too much food before sleeping for the night.

Does the long gone Giant Clock dream ? It isn’t here to be asked questions, it has vanished from Crestar.

Smaller than Bigdale, population is 450.

The walls don’t make a complete circuit, and there are lots of thatched roof houses along the main road through town. Two large Inns, across the road from each other. Meldale does have public ponds.

There isn’t much here.
