The City of Heartborough
Summary
Heartborough is a city located in the temperate hills, where the vegetation is Thick. Heartborough grew around a road that connects two other cities, and is comprised mostly of humans, with some dwarves. They are a patriarchal feudalist magocratic republic that worships many deities, none having a clear majority at all.
The nearest landmark is the Stone Queen's Bed: A stone giant made the mistake of picking a fight with an evil druid. Rooted and slammed into the earth, she planted Somnus Trees all around the raised crater. The constant stream of pollen keeps her in a perpetual dream state.
Government
The poeple of Heartborough work the land in exchange for living on their lord's lands. Affairs are handled by The Heartborough Scroll Keepers, the head of whom is Mr. Hudsyn May.

Economics
Trade is free in Heartborough, and people live a modest existence because of it. There are no taxes or regulations to speak of. Welfare is terrible. Citizens can expect the absolute bare minimum of death services. Healthcare and education are ignored, and those unable to fend for themselves would go hungry if it weren't for private benefactors.
Law and Order
There is a policing presence in Heartborough, but it is more for outside intruders rather than the population inside. Citizens are expected to follow the laws, and those that do have nothing to fear from The Bronze Squad. Law in Heartborough is somewhat reform-based, and those that breath the laws can expect hard labor, incarceration, or fines. The death penalty is typically reserved for traitors to the state. Magic is reserved only for the ruling class of mages and those who manage to procure a license, which is an intentionally confusing affair of different forms that need signatures from the council of wizards that govern Heartborough.
