The Town of Threshold

The small town of Threshold lies on a rediscovered trade route between the port cities Westgate and Teziir. With the main route between the cities in constant peril due to the Second Giants War, travelers have utilized this long forgotten road that hugs the coast near Westgate and splits the woodlands as it nears Teziir. The town is a growing collective of merchants, smiths, ranchers, farmers and adventurers, and has greatly benefited from the recent traffic. Threshold’s hidden past has been buried as visitors and locals alike look to the uncertain future.

Population: approximately 900. Almost all townsfolk are human. The Adventurers Guild accounts for almost all of the town’s diversity. Travelers of all races pass through town.
