Duncaster

Civilization: Medish Republic

Leader: Lord Shasteva (Black Greater Dragonborn)

Description
Duncaster is an old mining and fishing town that has changed hands several times over thousands of years. First it was an independent state, then its leader took a deal and established it as part of the Tannic Kingdom, then the Ghaluk Empire absorbed it through military occupation, then it revolted and became independent once again, then it was taken by Ghaluk forces, and finally it was flipped over to the Medish during the Three-Pronged War, where it remains now. Duncaster's coast is not far from an offshore island: the Isle of Blume. This small island, borne from an extinct volcano, both attracts wildlife to its edges, and contributes to large amounts of obsidian which the town profits from. Because it is on a different continent, Duncaster and the surrounding county can be considered one of the more unlawful places under the Republic.

Locations

 * The Crossroads at Nova Creek (Tavern) - Owned by Guumot (Goo-mot), an aging and burly half-orc with a short combover. Located a mile south of Duncaster, the Crossroads is a locally popular establishment in a vibrant and green field. Located behind (north) is an acre of corn fields and not far south is Nova Creek.
 * The Isle of Blume - A small, quarter of a mile-long island located half a mile from the shore. Of the quarter-mile, only a few hundred meters of it in the center have grasses. The rest is cooled and barren molten rock covered in lichens. The island however hosts coastal birds, crustaceans, and a large number of fish. Nobody is allowed to fish there however, only official crews from Duncaster.
 * Shipyard - The shipyard is the long wooden stretch of boardwalk where sailors come to dock. It contains a slew of fishing and sailing shops, as well as small homes. A number of entrepreneurs and freelancers make their way there, and a number of ships can be sold or rented under various peoples.

Inhabitants

 * Jean-Ermund Batteux - Old friend of Calico Massouleur, father of Belcalis 'Duckworth' Batteux, and ship-in-a-bottle-maker.
