Welbreck

Welbreck is just so cool.

Town History
Welbreck was founded by the family of Welbreck in the year 927 and developed quickly into a community that held a strong position in the dealings of surrounding towns. The political influence that developed was not by force or by political manipulation, but by the hard work and dedication of the individuals that strived to make their town good.

Geography
The town lies on the southeastern border of Paramente Swamp. Within the swamp lies Scarlan Castle.

Scarlan Empire
The Scarlan Empire begins its development in the year 1478 when the first recorded Scarlan set foot in Welbreck. Noreak Scarlan came to Welbreck looking for work as a mason. In the Noreak's connection to Mochrad is drastically shortened. His efforts gained him favor among the town, and soon his family became very influential and powerful in the town. Eventually, when in need, villagers in surrounding farmlands came to Welbreck for help, which was nearly always fulfilled. In this simple manner did the Welbreck Empire begin. As years passed, the Scarlan family took control of the positions of power in Welbreck, and the Welbreck Empire became the Scarlan Empire in 2478. The empire grew nearly entire due to the kindness and good will of the Scarlan family. The capital of the Scarlan Empire remained in Welbreck, and the main building for proceedings regarding the empire took place in Scarlan Castle  Unfortunately, the Caycarn family was not so forgiving, and smothered the Scarlan Empire, beating it back to its capital city of Welbreck by the year 2693. Welbreck maintained its connections and well placed helpfulness through the year 2960, when the Scarlan Empire was crushed into submission. At this time, Mochrad Scarlan (husband of Krisaadi Scarlan) was the king of the empire, and he took himself and his family and retreated into the castle. Since then Welbreck has thrived as a town neutrally affiliated to any higher form of government, and has tended to stay self sufficient.
