==The Freetowns==

This lightly hilled grassland on the edge of the desert is home to a collection of small villages styling themselves the "Free Towns". In reality they don't get visits from tax collectors because they have nothing anyone would want. The villages are home to the wretchedly poor, the most degenerate criminals, and a few starry eyed fools.

One such fool is "Mayor" Hilligar, the self styled ruler of "these fine, free peoples". Hilligar has been trying to get a road built to connect the villages but so far every tradesmen or builder he has brought in has been repulsed or murdered. Only the most foolish or desperate merchants will enter the area.
