Ygsmear

The Town of Ygsmear sits south of the Dwarven capital city of Ironguard as well as the Targar Mountains and is surrounded on most sides by the Targar forest. Ygsmear is built on the ruins of Fort Ygsmear which was destroyed during West Yuland's last attempt at expanding their territory. Fort Ygsmear used to serve as a check point for Ironguard and the only real road to the capital started at the fort.

After the fall of the fort, for their bravery in battle Ramrout and Kindosli Flintchest were given ownership of the ruins of the fort and the lands surrounding it by the dwarf King Harsil Iceshoulder.

Over a century later, the town of Ygsmear is now a very wealthy trading hub (due to all trades with Irongaurd needing to pass through the town) and home to the world famous Tavern of the Sleeping King. The Tavern is owned and run by the Flintchests and is built in the actual ruins of the Fort. The Tavern is unique in that you are outside and can see the night sky through the collapsed roof while, in reality, all "open" parts of the Tavern are protected by warding runes placed by Kindosli to keep the natural elements out of the bar.

While the Flintchests technically own the town, the still serve under the domain of King Iceshoulder. Because of this, Iceshoullder appoints the town guard any any legal affair that can not be solved at a town level is settled in Irongaurd. However, Ramout typically takes what little trouble the town has into his own hands (for better or worse) and ,by consequence, renders the towns guard obsolete. While some of the town guard see this easy life as a blessing, some find it incredibly dull and resent Ramrout for making their job obsolete.
