Iisengwehr

The town of Iisengwehr is a cluster of stout, stone buildings surrounded by a high, snow-covered wall. The structures are designed for practicality, with sloped roofs to prevent the accumulation of snow and icy winds. Looming watchtowers stand at regular intervals along the wall, each manned by vigilant guards tasked with spotting any approaching threats.
The town's streets are narrow and winding. The entire town is blanketed in snow for much of the year, giving it a pristine and otherworldly appearance. A central square hosts a massive bonfire, which never goes out, and it serves as a gathering point for the townsfolk.
Iisengwehr is governed by a council of elders, with a "First Elder" serving as the de facto leader in times of crisis. The council makes decisions on resource allocation, town defense, and trade negotiations with neighboring settlements. The town values self-sufficiency and survival above all else, which has made its leadership pragmatic and resourceful.

== History ==
Iisengwehr is a town that has long been isolated from the rest of the confederation of Haystan, nestled deep within the unforgiving North Burn. Its history is one of resilience and survival. The town was initially established as a mining settlement, with its inhabitants seeking valuable resources beneath the icy tundra. Over the years, as the mines were depleted and the region's isolation became more apparent, the town shifted its focus to survival and self-sufficiency.
Legend has it that an ancient cat spirit blessed the first ruler of Iisengwehr, granting them the ability to commune with the land and ensure the prosperity of their people. The current ruler of Iisengwehr, Lady Selene Frostbote, is currently though to be in possession of that blessing and she is clearly determined to steer Iisengwehr toward a future of peace and prosperity.
