Here's the history helpfile:

21 years ago, a war was raging between the two neighbouring realms of Arcania and Mistral. A group of Arcanian’s decided to emigrate to get away from the violence.

Their travels took them into the mountains, where they came across a valley. They chose to settle at a location beside the river with enough farmable land around them to survive on and other resources nearby. The conditions were harsh, but the location was secluded and at the time that was preferable.

The first building to be constructed was what is now the Mayor’s Residence near the centre of the village, along the north-leading road. It had to hold as many people as possible during the winter, and so had to be quite large.

A large tree was chosen to mark the centre of the village, and still remains today at the centre of the village green.

Initially, there were some deaths, due to the harsh winter climate and other hazards such as wild animals.

The leader of the travellers became what is now the Mayor, a few of the other mature adults forming the Council, with the Mayor as it’s chairman.

The Mayor also selected a small group of men to watch over the village, to protect it’s inhabitants against dangerous animals, and to deal with any conflicts that may arise.

The Mayor has always been viewed as the village’s main protector, and this, combined with his wisdom continue to make him popular to this day.

It wasn’t long before the Mayor realised that a more strict governing system needed to be put in place, to make sure that the village shared it’s limited resources equally, and build where it was most efficient for the overall functioning of the village. These are issues that the council continue to discuss on a regular basis.

As the years went by, the village expanded, and with children being born, the population grew. It was heard that the war between Arcania and Mistral had ended and since then a ceasefire has held, yet the older members of the village still remember the violence all too well and have sought to shield the younger generation from knowledge of it.
