I’ve been working on the slow and steady build of a small town useful as a gaming location and central to a D&D game I once ran. I’ve been expanding it beyond its original bounds when I used it last and learning some new things about each aspect that I add to it. This week I look into the origins of the medieval sheriff so that we can add a bit of law and order to our town. I give a brief description of the local sheriff’s office and a background for the lawwoman of the town of Nestletop.
How does the law work in your world? Does each town have its own “sheriff” or “bailiff”? Do you use wild west style circuit judges? In your main town who provides the law and who enforces it?
