Learning about the area

[kismet]

Greetings,

Is there a person that I could speak with, or a place that I could go to learn more about the town and the surrounding areas? I have found a bit of information here and there, and I do not mind hearing repeated information in case you fear that you might bore me.

What vexes the townspeople? In what areas is help needed most? Is there a town guard, or militia to join? Where might I find interesting places to explore? What do you people do in between breakfast and dinner? What kinds of things do you run from?

You can find some information over on this tree (http://nerogr.proboards.com/thread/408/guide-tervesa)...but you should ask around in town. A lot of the people there know bunches of stuff!

That Guide to Ter'Vesa is some mighty fine writing.

If your looking to help out law enforcement, speak to Sheriff Stormhammer. He hires deputies from time to time.

There is a stronger guild presense in Midway since the Guide was written.

I am not up to date on current threats.

Thank you to the author of the guide. And to you too Jynx!

I asked here because I'd like to know what I am getting into before I jump into the pot!

Right now, one of the things you need to worry about is the Awakening. It's something that happens in this area every couple of decades that cause increased aggressiveness in the "wild races". They have started coming out of the Unkempt Lands (the center of this trouble, and where it is strongest) and attacking people.It has even sometimes caused some of our fellow adventurers to start attacking their friends. It isn't fixed by purify blood, but awaken will do the trick. We haven't figured out what causes it yet.

Also, for the past few years there have been a lot of nightmare elementals about. Mutt and the Tailwaggers have been leading the efforts to fix that problem, and there has been a lot of progress made, but there is still more to do.

There has been a lot of political unrest in Loringarr lately, which is the capital city of this duchy. Over the winter, the former Duke and Duchess were convicted of various crimes (including slavery), stripped of their titles, and sentenced to execution. The former Duke has been executed. The former Duchess is missing. Their daughter, now Duchess Solette Surion, inherited the duchy, though there has been some questions about that I guess.

These are the big things going on that I didn't see Bliss already tell you, I'm sure there is more going on that I didn't think of.

Welcome to Midway!

Thanks Ephany! These all seem like really big things!
