[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 780264, member: 8704"] When I wrote up my watch tower to the north I figured that it was so quiet there because most of the trouble was to the south, the big problems to the north would probably be poachers and bandits, the monsterous tribes seem to be attacking from the south (maybe I need to do a south watchtower or two). Perhaps we should just make a blanket statement that the land north of town is much safer than the land to the south, thus most of your rural population would be to the north. That could also lead to a plot hook, the watchtowers north of the city have been undermanned or abandoned for years but what if some new strong force moved in to attck from the north? I think the Winter Storm may need to be reduced in number, forced to work through the Guild of Guards and having their numbers reduced further as some decide to take post as Rangers or join the city population. If they have been in town a long time they would be slowly intergrating in with the population. There could be a plot hook there as older members try to hold on to their way of life but the younger members are moving on and becoming more and more like the city folk. They are a dying breed in a civilized town, they get less and less work and are loosing members to city life, what happens when they try to return to their roots? Would they end up blaming the city for their increasing softness? (fits in with their discription and existing plothooks) [/QUOTE]
