Arlo Rundle is one of the border walkers who live along the walls, fences and hedges that mark the boundary of the farmlands and noble estates that spread out at the foot of Highstone. The border walkers are often huntsman or small farmers who receive an income from the city […]
Here are the first inhabitants of my fantasy town (provisonally named ‚Highstone‘). The beginnings of the city watch.
