Newstark

Founding
Newstark was founded when Trindam’s Pass became overcrowded and wealthy settlers poured into the middle of the valley seeking space.

Environment
Newstark is a in small, neat, well-planned city with the more rich and powerful citizens residing in the properties bordering the Dragon's Eye Lake (known as 'Dregs ' to the commoners). It is the lowest geographic point in Greenpeak, and all water runs there eventuallly.

Sailing directly into the middle of the dark, slow-swirling waters of Dragon's Eye Lake is deadly, and young men often entertain themselves by daring each other to sail as close as possible to the border between the pale blue waters of the shore and the dark blue of the abyss.

Less than half a mile away from the lake is the seat of Greenpeak's government. It is ruled by a Council Leader, who is elected via majority vote by all of Greenpeak's town representatives.

The law of this city is enforced by a miltia.

The new mayor, Mr. Victor Pollidore, from Ilsimar. His advisor, Hemsley Dryden, is also from Ilsimar. They are here to rejuvenate the economy, to increase exports, and it is under his management that the towns within the Vale have ceased paying tribute.

Rumors & Unrest
Many of the Temples of Melora have been closed and their followers are being outsted from the city.
