You find yourselves well rested after an uneventful three days crossing the Nesmian Plains, your gaze now turning to the town of Phaendar. Nestled in a bend of the Marideth river, you see the bridge has many wagons crossing it this day.
The town itself is fairly small, normally home to a mere 400 souls, but the upcoming Market Festival sees the streets and inns overflowing. Traders mingle with locals bringing their goods in from the outlying farmsteads.
Phaendar’s central square consists of a few small businesses: the Taproot Inn, the Trading Company, and an auction house and theater, as well as two dozen small family homes that double as workshops for leather- and woodworkers. Most of the town consists of wood and thatch structures, plus a few canvas-walled pavilions. Monsters, bandits, and even the occasional Molthuni raid destroy property too often for most Phaendari to feel the expense of long-standing stone buildings to be worth the investment.
