Felhaven

Light Follower City

elhaven was once the greatest city of trade in the world. It was founded in the Old World by a trade caravan that had been waylaid by demons Originally a den of evil, the caverns were cleansed by the holy warriors serving as guards to the caravan. To honor and remember their deed, statues have been placed around the city. The World Change caused the once demon-infested caverns to vanish, but the city and its memory of the brave guards remain.

Felhaven also is home to the largest marketplace in the known world. The goods sold there come from all over the realm. To safeguard the many merchants that sell their wares, the city maintains one of the most disciplined and well-trained militia of all the Light Follower settlements. When it was still an active farming community, Winnowing Hall would supply Felhaven with crops to sell. Weapons, armor, and tools are brought by boat from the city of Holmskeep on the nearby island of Easterholm. Those that know the right people, however, can take a ship to the island and buy the same goods for a cheaper price.

As the power of the Order grows, the economy of the world has begun to collapse. Once a prosperous, bustling City of Light, Felhaven has now fallen on hard times. Business is conducted less frequently because of the many dangers present to travelers. Caravans to and from the city rarely reach their destinations. The significant loss in the number of shoppers has severely affected the city. New laws were enacted in an attempt to fix this, and these laws are regarded by some as evidence of a pervasive corruption in the City Council. Previously, Light-Followers would never condone any association with those who have become corrupted by the Change. Out of sheer desperation, provisions were made. The position of the sun now determines who is allowed in the city streets: During the day those of the Light are free to go about their life normally. When night comes, they are forced to return to their homes. It is in the darkness that those belonging to the Order are allowed to roam the marketplace and spend their ill-gotten coin. The guards turn a blind eye to the presence of such evil creatures so long as no merchants are harmed. By doing this, Felhaven hopes to overcome the deficit they have built up. Some fear that this prostitution only allows the Darkness to take a firmer footing among them, and that it dishonors the heroes that founded their home so long ago.
