The Dredges

Far to the north of The Smoke, it still counts as Europa. Between The Smoke and The Dedges is a major Dwarven city called Silversheild, known for having one of the most impenetrable banks in the world. However it is still further north from there to hit the edge of The Dredges.

Trenchtown
Trenchtown is a wet, muddy place. Many of the buildings here are on stilts to try and keep at least the floors dry. To many it is the first sign you are leaving civilization and it itself is not all that civilised.More of a shanty town on the whole, Trenchtown is likely to be both a damp place to rest but also your last real bed until you hit The Dedges. North from Trenchtown is the wilds, spanning quite some distance until you finally reach The Dredges.

The Dredges
The last bastion of civilisation( a Scandanavian influenced land). Made up of large pine forests with plenty of heavy snow in winter, you’ll need to wrap up warm. The native population is very nomadic and tribal, avoiding settlements of The Dedges and viewing them as all that is wrong with the civilised world.It unfortunately lives up to that in some way, attracting criminals who need to lay low, people on the run, bounty hunters, and others who seek to use this untouched land to their advantage. The towns act as a buffer between the civilised world and the cruel, natural expanse of The White (a huge stretch of bitterly cold, icy tundra). Many believe that The White leads to nothing, with most folk reporting they found nothing, or never returning. As of late, it has been discovered that the mythical city of Frostholm is actually out there. The Dredges is ripe with natural resources, which draws both people who plan to use and take over the resources for nefarious means, and folks who simply want to try and build a better life.

The Towns of The Dredges
There are nine towns within The Dredges, ranging from populations in the 1000’s going down to as small as 50.

Hope
Is there any?

Leadville
One of the bigger towns that struck lucky with lead. Quite a number of people have claim to plots of land to mine for lead.

Twinfalls
Marked by two waterfalls

Lastpost
One of the more civilised settlements, it is also the furthest north. It is the last settlement before you head into The White.

Paradise
But is it though?

Silver Spring
Struck lucky with silver, each hotly contested for.

Devil’s Lake
?

Starfall
Rumours say that it is a location where the stars really did fall, causing craters. Those brave or foolish enough to explore the craters are said to return with strange but equally unheard of ores. At least the ones that make it back.

Solitude
Far out the way and hard to reach. People who tend to try to get here are never seen again.
