Imagine a fairly wide continent with a great deal of development on the east and west coasts. The center of the continent is very undeveloped though...except for Whisperdale Falls (WF as I'll call it). WF is the "rest" point for caravans travelling from one coast to another. The trans-continental highway is a well guarded, well protected road. But just a few miles to either side of it is pure wilderness. WF is the city where the druids, paladins, rangers and more militant churches base their operations to try to "cleanse" the wilderness. This is all built on the remains of an ancient empire. So you occasionally will encounter mausoleums, churches, roads, villages (all in ancient ruin, at least a 2000 years old). Only the Elves really remember what happened. The humans do not. Whisperdale Falls is a city of about 15,000 people with a "large town" feel to it. Mostly because it doesn't attract the niceties and amenities of other cities. It still has a harsh, wilderness feel to it. Would be adventurers almost ALWAYS start out their careers as caravan guards that are hired in WF for speciliazed duties like scouting and reconnaissance. The cities on the East and West coasts are cultured, advanced and more then just a little bit snotty about it.Cedric</blockquote>
