Mossfall is a smaller town located in a swamp in Almuren. It is not currently affiliated with any nation.

History

Before the conception of Mossfall, Willow lived for around a century in the wild swamp. It wasn't until Valen Bendigo (Bendigo) settled in nearby that Mossfall began to develop. The town originates from a large willow tree, dubbed as the "Wonder Tree". In modern times, Mossfall has reached the attention of travelers, allowing the population to grow. Valen, using his natural charisma and business-talk, has also reached for alliances with nearby towns. As of writing this, Mossfall is one of several towns to be eventually involved in the S.M.U (name pending) (short for "Scavengers and Mossfalli Union") Despite the name, the union pertains to more towns than just Scavenger's Mire and Mossfall.

The Tree of Wonder

Both the birthplace of Willow and centerpiece of Mossfall, the Tree of Wonder stands as a symbol of Mossfalli culture and as a great decoration (biased). It is here where the town branched off of and became what it is today.

Government Hierarchy

Currently, Mossfall's government is very limited in power because of its size. Because of this, only future Ríhluadh or Ceathair will have to be elected. For example, the founder of Mossfall was immediately chosen as Ríhluadh, and they handpicked the two current Ceathair. In Mossfall, there are three layers to the government.

Ríhluadh (rih-low-d)

The Ríhluadh is the figurehead of Mossfall. They are similar in power to a president in a democracy, or a mayor. They have the most power as an individual, yet can be overruled by elected representatives or Ceathair.

Ceathair (see-ah-th-air)

Ceathair are elected representatives that form the Ceathair Council. The Ceathair Council's members are the "decision makers" of the town. As the town grows in size, more Ceathair will be elected. If a Ceathair has been in power for their term, a new election will take place to replace them.

Gnáth (guh-na-th)

The Gnáth are the regular citizens of Mossfall. Gnáth, unless specifically excluded, are encouraged to vote in elections for future Ceathair and Ríhluadh.

Races

The primary races that usually reside in Mossfall are, in order from most common to least common,

  • Goblins
  • Gnomes
  • Myceloids
  • Wood Elves
  • Parasitians

There are, of course, exceptions to this list. Other races have and do inhabit Mossfall, however they are the exception and not the rule.
