“After the chance meeting of Slowfix's goblins and Midnight Dew's treasure hunters, the two factions were locked in conflict for a time. Once they reached a peace, however, they became the most stalwart of companions, and together raised Idyllshire—a libertarian bastion of those who value freedom above all else.

Lore
Prologue & Epilogue Gate
If the Cenotaph were the spine of a book, then the gates to the east and west would be the prologue and epilogue—hence the names of these two main egresses of Idyllshire.
The Cenotaph
A towering monolith erected in tribute to the great scholars who have passed on, leaving behind the knowledge that has shaped the realm. The names of countless men of learning are etched in the mighty stone, along with the motto of Sharlayan: “Knauleche Seikis No Man” (Knowledge Seeks No Man) on the front and “Knauleche Seikis No Wimman” (Knowledge Seeks No Woman) on the rear.
The Orn Wild
A primeval forest that stretches across the northern reaches of the Dravanian hinterlands, its rich verdure sustained by the pristine waters of the Thaliak. Nigh untouched by the hand of man, its wilds stand between those who would make their way to Sharlayan without braving a trek across the forelands.
Stickqix’s Bangpots
Stickqix, chief of Idyllshire’s goblin craftsmen, built this expansive workshop solely from materials gathered from the ruins of Sharlayan. Inside is a large furnace, wherein he forges various and sundry goods from metal. His goblin brethren gave the place its name because one could ofttimes hear the sounds of explosions echoing from its sooty halls.
Rowena’s Center for Cultural Promotion
Using funds earned from her House of Splendors branch in Revenant’s Toll, the merchant Rowena has begun the reconstruction of this half-collapsed building left abandoned by the Sharlayans fifteen summers past. Though it opened under the grandiose slogan “dedicated to nurturing the growth of the arts and culture,” it is, in truth, little more than another of the shrewd entrepreneur’s many commercial ventures.
The Freewalks Roundspot
The Freewalks Roundspot was established as a market wherein independent merchants, treasure hunters, and adventurers could peddle their wares as they pleased. Apparently, one may even see the odd retainer in the market, eager to accomplish some errand for her demanding employer. [1]
