Rosepark is a thriving and well-off community that has risen from the residue of the old Kingdom of Toranath. In the hundred years since the Kingdom's fall, the Archdukes of Rosepark have protected and shepherded the people of the East Marches, leading to its current economic and cultural boom.
Rosepark was originally a large fortified manor named Greycrag Keep which took in refugees, and its progressive Duke quickly expanded the boundaries of his personal territory by putting the refugees to work, farming in his gardens and establishing resources they could all share. They bolstered defences and protected their boundaries against roving bandits and renegade former knights, which won much favour with the peasantry of the region. As the town grew, more buildings were necessary, and a bustling city has sprung up over the last century. Now ruled by the grand-daughter of the original Archduke, a woman by the name of Felicia alDayne, the new city of Rosepark and its supporting towns are prosperous and well-off. The city possesses a cathedral honouring the god deities, a small university, several merchant guilds, and trade routes with other cities, well-guarded by a standing guard with trained reserves. It has diplomatic relations with several of its neighbouring nations, and has survived wars with a couple of others, although its rapid expansion slowed to a near cease in the past ten years. How you can use Rosepark in your game: - As a well-off, almost industrial city, Rosepark can be the central area of a campaign, or just a stop-off on the journey. It can be threatened by invasion, espionage, or otherworldy threats, and even its guard cannot stop every threat. - Rosepark is also a centre of learning, which means it is a likely destination if adventurers need to seek information or assistance, whether arcane or clerical. - Parts of the city were built on the old Rose Abbey, an ancient trial of knighthood for warriors of the Old Kingdom. Those who value the old code of chivalry might seek out the old Abbey, if any part of it remains. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 28 March 2019. Comments are closed.
