Kornwall

Kornwall is a City in the North-Western parts of the Stormlands. It is in habitat by humans, Half-Minotaurs, Half-Elves, Gnomes, Halflings and pretty much everything else. The City is known for being open to anybody, no matter the race as long anybody brings something to benefit the existence of this city. In the North of the city there are wide fields of grain or "Korn". The City itself is surrounded by a wooden wall, protecting the inner buildings of the city itself. These two attributes gave ground for naming the city. In the south a huge gate seperates the city from the small harbour, filled with docks, fishing boats and transport ships for cargo.

Places of Interest

3. Scherzer Ruin

A Group of burned and withered farm houses in the middle of golden fields. The roofs are caved in and ruble is blocking the entrance to the biggest of the houses while the others burned down completely. An old burned sign lies in front of the heavily damaged door reading "Scherzer Family".

Investigate the ruins: Insight 12, Woodcarver Tools 12 - The ruin of the main house still stands but is unstable. It must have been like this for a few months at least. A subtle attempt is needed to enter through the door or the other entrances like windows to enter the house. (Find a way inside without bringing it to the ground).Inside there are 3 points of interest

1. The blocked Fireplace at the far end of the main hall showing some well designed cooking covered in the ash while the fireplace itself lies in ruin blocked by a huge tile of the roof. (Athletics 12: Remove the Roof tile and find a little flask with 3 strains of long red hair in it. Cooking Supplies 12: This was not a normal fire place but a well crafted oven with a stable cattle. The cattle must have been forced out of it's position and most likely started the fire).

2. A broken skeleton lying close to a window, black from the ashes lying in front of it in a weird position. It is surrounded by blackened shards of glass, staming from the window near by most likeley. (Medicine 12: This individual has a broken rip cage. Something pierced through it's back, severing rips. Glass Blowers Tools 12: The window broke because of heat, not because of force. The glass itself would have resisted any heat a normal fire could have created. It is likeley that the roof coming down created this damage)

3. Footsteps of at least two people can be seen in the ashes. They seem different from each other. A rope can be seen lying in the ashes. (Survival 12: There are two footsteps, one of a child walking barefood and one of a armored individual. Details can not be seen apart that the foodsteps can not be older than 1 month. Weavers Tools 12: The rope has been cut. It is soaked in small amounts of blood. Somebody was strangled with this rope and it was cut hastily on a rough surface shortly before the arrival of the heroes in the Stormlands).

4. Militia Camp

Behind wooden walls and a strengthened gate lies a training ground and the barracks of the local Militia. Before being granted access a visitor has to state their business. Through the open gate some soldiers and many recruits can be seen, training the use of different weapons and a few rich looking individuals are learning the proper movement in armor. Many of the guards here look tired. The militia is probably 100 men strong and consists mostly of guards and veterans. Here you find Banabas Lachma, the Captain of the milizia and the head of Warfare education as long as he lives.

There are always at least 4 guards and one Veteran at the gate. Because of their dutiful position they gain +2 to all skills including their passives outside of battle.

Warrior Training: The Melicia offers training for weapons and armor. This training requires time, money and feat dependent prerequisites and attributes. Barnabas Lachma must be alive for this option. Any Hero can just learn one feat with training in their life. Prificiancys learned this way just cover content from the basic game, no added content.

5. Korn-Gate

Korn-Gate is always guarded by at least 6 guards and 2 veterans while a yellow banner is dancing in the wind, showing a golden corn weed in a golden circle, the symbol of the town. Sometimes the gate is also guarded by Barnabas Lachma, the leader of the Militia. Entering through the gate is easy during the day while the gate is closed during the night. The most important function of the gate is to drive attention to important matters of the city. A huge wooden board at the inside and outside of the city shows tasks for anybody that searches for work.

Repair the Fishwell Bridge: "The Fishwell Bridge, one day walk north-east of Kornwall, has bee destroyed during one of the recent storms and I need help to repair it. I do not have much money but you all know how important it is to reopen the travel route to the east. Firewood from Twigrest and horse meat from plainswealth, you want that don't you? Masons, strong ones, smart architects and defenders against beasts needed. Meet me at Fishwell Bridge, fallow the street north east. Report to Bob." -> Fishwell Bridge.

The Melicia want's you!: "You want to be usefull? Join the militia! We offer training in weapons and armor. Save the small folk of Kornwall, the honorable source of prosperity. Corruption grows in our midst. Save society, save the next generation. Good payment and honor guaranteed. The dutifull, strong and well aimed needed. Meet me at the Militia Camp north-west of the city. Report to Barnabas Lachma."

Reopen the Tavern: "Do you remember having a drink after work? It is time to make this memory a reality again. Value a deal I say for I am the rightfull owner of this ruin. Help me claiming what is mine and you'll get payed better than in any profession and free stay for the rest of your life. Creative thinkers, Woodcarvers and bouncers wanted. Meet me at the Tavern Copperluck near the marketplace. Report to Trimm."

8. Mayors Residence

A giant house stands out between all the others. Constantly guarded by at least 4 Veterans at all times this structure towers over nearly all buldings found in the city. The whole construction seems relatively delicate compared to the rest of the city. A Large garden surrounded by walls is attached to the large house and a large, leafed tree can be seen over the walls. Every now and then, when the Mayor of Kornwall is at home, you can hear him reading out loud some very band poems, all about love and undying loyalty to a lover.

10. Scribere Mysterio

A broken down house made completely of stone in contrast to all the other houses around is found in a small alley in the north-eastern district of Kornwall. The broken windows are barricaded with wood and the caved in roof does not seem like it can protect the upper floor from rain or wind. Nonetheless a finely carved shields dangles in the breeze on a metal rod, reading "Scribere Mysterio" and shows a filled wine glass and a book with a whispering mouth on it (DC 10 History, It is a Gentlemen s Club). It seems like a mix of a high society tavern and a library, like gentlemen's club from the Empire. Right under the sign there are narrow stares leading from the outside down the presumed cellar of the building. A fine wooden door with milky glass, a bronze keyhole and a strange ruin barricades the entry to this establishment. A sign on the door says: "Just whisper near the door please. Hold the agreed amount in your hand and whisper for allowance, I will get you in. Gunther". Hushed voices from the inside can be heard at any time from inside and every now and then hooded figures enter or leave this weird place, seeming distressed and ashamed, looking around to see if they have been spotted entering or leaving.

There are no guards but the door is magically sealed by two spells: Arcane Lock (2nd lvl spell) and just opens for those knowing the password "Susurro" (I whisper in Latin) and Symbol: Insanity (7th lvl Spell), triggering when forced open and just effecting those who knowingly plan to intrude. (Each target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target is driven insane for 1 minute. An insane creature can’t take actions, can’t understand what other creatures say, can’t read, and speaks only in gibberish. The GM controls its movement, which is erratic.). Insane beeings shout and babble and alarm Gunter, the owner of the Location. He is not shy of getting the guards to arrest trespassers.

Scribe Training: Gunther offers knowledge about languages. This training requires time, money and feat dependent prerequisites and attributes. Guntha Whisperquill must be alive for this option. Any Hero can just learn one feat with training in their life. Proficiencies learned this way just cover content from the basic game, no added content.
