Description
This is Gretchew. Once a backwater wilderland, it has since become the fertile breadbasket of Terran. Fisher-villages dot the shore of the Root River to the south, and the denizens of Gretchew are often seen on sailing vessels throughout the Central Sea.
To the north, as one approaches the hill country, there is a substantial town of about 600 people around the Lord's Manor. Though metal is expensive and rare in Terran, the Lord of the region has thus far managed to secure a steady supply for the local ferrier and town smith, though not of an industrial quality.
A road is being constructed to replace the old footpaths and trails from Chateau Saffalore to the river. Ever since the conquest of Chesney, Gretchew's importance as a crucial trade juncture has been rising. The Bridge of Gretchew also has a town around it on the north side of the river, of about 700 people. Ships often stop for a brief resupply there, as food is plentiful in Gretchew. Indeed, the people of Gretchew are among the best fed in the western lands due to their secure location, fertile lands, and easy access to water.
Towards the west, the Rangers of Gretchew have their camp of 150 men or so. They defend Gretchew from any monsters or undead invading from the untamed west. The bulk of the farms have been planted between the bridge and the Hills of Saffalore, and along the coast (though threats of D'Haran raiders have limited coastal settlement). The western parts of the region are smaller farms, homesteads of brave pioneers (like unto the initial settlers of Gretchew, who've mostly been eaten by monsters), and hunter communities, like the rangers.
Most of the Terran military in Gretchew, troops of the Pride of the Highlands, are stationed between the bridge and the westlands, though a sizable detachment are also stationed at Gretchtheow-by-the-hills, around the Manor House.
Enjoy your stay in Gretchew, under the domain of the Republic of Terran. Please taste the port at the Bridgeport Tavern, and dine with us at my hall in Gretchtheow-by-the-hills. We do not lightly turn away guests, and it is always a pleasure to meet with our cousins and friends from afar.
Current Lord
The current lord of Gretchew, is Sir Kale Perth, Senator of Gretchew and Magistrate of War of Terran.
